MANILA, Philippines, May 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Trinasolar, a global smart PV and energy storage solutions provider, has supplied 52,000 of its n-type i-TOPCon Vertex N 710-715W (NEG21C.20) modules for the Limbauan Solar Power Project (LSPP), a 40-megawatt direct current (MWdc) solar facility in San Pablo, Isabela, Philippines. Developed by BKS Green Energy Corporation (BKS), a subsidiary of Rizal Green Energy Corporation (RGEC), a joint venture between PetroGreen Energy Corporation (PGEC) and Japan's TAISEI Corporation, the project aims to bolster Luzon grid's renewable energy supply.
LSPP is projected to generate approximately 59 gigawatt-hours (GWh) of clean energy annually, sufficient to power around 33,000 households and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by about 31,700 metric tons. This initiative marks a significant step towards enhancing Philippines' renewable energy infrastructure and promoting sustainable development.
The project is divided into two phases: a 6 MWdc Phase 1 connecting to the Isabela Electric Cooperative-II (ISELCO-II) system, and a 34 MWdc Phase 2 connecting to the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines' (NGCP) 69 kV Tuguegarao-Cabagan line via a 4.73 km dedicated transmission facility.
Beyond supplying high-efficiency and high-power modules, Trinasolar actively contributed to the project's success by providing training programs aimed at upskilling local talent. This initiative aligns with the project's goal of employing approximately 500-600 workers at the peak of construction, fostering economic growth in the Cagayan Valley region.
Maria Victoria M. Olivar, PGEC Vice President for Business Development and Commercial Operations said, "We are thrilled to officially begin the installation of LSPP's PV panels in the presence of our various stakeholders – private and public – especially local government officials of our host communities who are strong supporters of PetroGreen's first investment in Region 2."
Atty. Angelynn C. Salazar conveyed a message from Isabela Governor Rodolfo T. Albano III saying, "The project also serves as a powerful reminder of what can be achieved when government, private sectors, and local communities work together toward a common goal."
Elva Wang, Trinasolar's Group Director for Southeast Asia said, "Philippines boasts immense potential to harness solar energy to meet its rising energy demands. By integrating our Vertex N modules, featuring cutting-edge n-type i-TOPCon technology, into the LSPP, we are delivering exceptional efficiency and energy output. Building upon our successful partnership, including the 117MW supply agreement signed in April 2024, we are committed to supporting PetroGreen in accelerating the adoption of clean energy solutions across the nation."
