Solar engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) firm SunAsia Energy will build 1.3GW of floating solar PV (FPV) projects on the Laguna Lake, the largest lake in the Philippines.
Blueleaf Energy, a portfolio company of Macquarie’s Green Investment Group, has announced plans to co-develop 1.25GW of solar in the Philippines through a new collaboration with local PV player SunAsia.
The Philippines' first floating solar testbed to withstand typhoons is in a region that has on average 20 storms a year. It will also assess framed and frameless PV modules.
A bill that is currently passing through the Philippines Senate would allow commercial and industrial (C&I) entities to optimise the use of their rooftops with solar power, while also helping reduce costs for housing initiatives for the underprivileged, according to the head of a Filipino trade association.
The new chairperson of the Philippines Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) has showed clear intention to solve the huge build-up of pending approvals of power projects, in what she dubbed as the ‘Zero Backlog Program’.
