Yuchengco firm’s Bohol solar farm cleared for commercial operations
Bohol's first utility-scale solar plant, the 27.121 MWdc Dagohoy Solar Power Plant (DSPP), has secured government approval to begin commercial operations.
The P1.17-billion solar plant, owned by Yuchengco-led Dagohoy Green Energy Corp. (DGEC), is set for commercial operations on July 16, 2025.
DGEC is a joint venture between PetroGreen Energy Corp. (PGEC) and Taisei Corp., with PGEC being the renewable energy subsidiary of PetroEnergy Resources Corp.
The plant received provisional authority to operate from the Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) and approval from the Independent Electricity Market Operator of the Philippines (IEMOP) for its commercial operations date in the Wholesale Electricity Spot Market (WESM).
The DSPP promises cleaner and more stable electricity for Bohol, which has historically relied on imported power and smaller diesel and hydro facilities.
Dave P. Gadiano, Assistant Vice-President of PGEC, expressed pride in the facility's contribution of needed indigenous and clean energy to the province.
