Mariveles, Bataan – The newly inaugurated Citicore Solar power plant in Barangay Alas Asin will save the country 13,000 metric tons in carbon emissions per year.
This was revealed to Bataan Governor Abet S. Garcia by Manolo T Candelaria, executive vice president of
Citicore, during the official inauguration of the solar power plant here that can produce 18 megawatts.
“The facility is made up of over 68,500 photovoltaic modules. It is expected to power 22,000 homes connected to the Luzon grid. Construction was started in October 2015 by Megawide Construction Corporation.
“The plant is expected to help avoid 13,000 metric tons of carbon emissions per year, equivalent to planting
600,000 trees over the life of the facility. Project funding was secured through Land Bank of the Philippines with Primeiro Partners as financial consultants,” said Candelaria in his speech.
“The almost-simultaneous completion of these two power plants shows that Citicore Power is aggressive and serious in completing its renewable energy portfolio. We are committed to providing energy to the
Filipino people with little or no impact to the environment,” he added.
