Aboitiz Renewables Inc., a subsidiary of Aboitiz Power Corp., has received the Final Certificate of Approval to Connect from the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines for its Calatrava Solar Power Plant in Negros Occidental.
The 137.4-megawatt alternating current solar power plant, located in San Isidro, Calatrava, is now the largest operating solar and variable renewable energy facility in the Visayas region.
Aboitiz Renewables president Jimmy Villaroman expressed gratitude to NGCP for their collaboration in bringing this project online.
The completion of the Calatrava Solar Power Plant significantly boosts grid capacity and aids electricity suppliers in meeting Renewable Portfolio Standards obligations.
Meanwhile, Aboitiz Renewables is preparing to energize two more solar projects in Luzon: the Olongapo Solar Power Plant in Olongapo City and the San Manuel Solar Power Plant in Pangasinan, scheduled for testing and commissioning by the third quarter of 2025.
