Phinma plans to construct the PV plant in the service contract area granted by the DOE. The term of the service contract is 25 years, which is extendable for another 25 years.
Last July, Phinma announced plans to build a 45MW project in Bugallon, Pangasinan, which would be the company’s pilot solar project.
