ACEN, Citicore start operation of 72 MW solar project in Pampanga

AC Energy (ACEN), the renewable energy unit of Ayala Corporation, in partnership with Citicore Power, has started the commercial operation of its 72 MW Arayat-Mexico solar photovoltaic project located in Pampanga, the Philippines. 

After its successful energization, the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP) will be conducting its own set of testing for grid compliance, which is expected to be completed by the second week of April 2022.

Once fully operational, the 72 MW solar farm will produce 105 GWh of renewable energy annually, enough to power 45,000 households while avoiding approximately 72,000 MT of carbon emissions annually. The solar project has a potential expansion of up to 116 MW.
