Under the terms of the agreement, Sumec will work on the Laoag photovoltaic park while Hansei will build the Laoag 2 project, collectively considered as a single-ticket facility. The projects will be constructed in the province of Pangasinan and are expected to be operational by June 2022.
The projects have the capacity to generate 261 MWh of clean energy annually, enough to power 100,000 households for a year. The bulk of the power generation from the solar projects will be contracted to a retail company for 20 years.
