Total Eren partners up on 135 MWp Philippine solar project development

Total Eren has partnered with Mabalacat Solar Philippines Inc., a renewable energy corporation based in Manila, and Singapore-based Sindicatum Renewable Energy, to build a total of 135 MWp of utility-scale solar power plants in Luzon.

The two solar photovoltaic projects, named Tarlac (60 MWp) and Zambales (75 MWp), are located respectively in the Tarlac and Zambales Provinces, in Luzon, in northern Philippines, and both hold a 20-year private Power Supply Agreement.

Tarlac has already entered the construction phase, while Zambales’ construction is expected to start in Q2 2021. The solar farms are expected to reach commercial operation respectively in Q1 and Q4 2021. Once completed, they will produce together over 180 GWh per year, enough to meet the needs of about 258,000 people in the Philippines.

Tarlac and Zambales solar farms will support regional sustainable growth and contribute to local employment during the construction and then operation phases.
