MANILA, Philippines - Seven
renewable energy projects were cleared to proceed undertaking grid impact
studies as of March, latest data from the Department of Energy (DOE) showed.
These projects are seen to generate
562 megawatts (MW) of power to the grid.
The GIS is necessary in determining
if the electricity to be generated by the power project can be absorbed by the
grid.
Three of the projects will harness
wind resource and will be developed by Currimao Solar Energy Corp. These are
the 150-MW Talisay Wind Power Project in Camarines Norte, the 140-MW Talim Wind
Power Project in RIzal and the 80-MW Calatagan Wind Power Project in Batangas.
The DOE also gave the go signal to
conduct studies on three solar projects.
Sindicatum C-Solar Power
Inc. is working on the Capas Solar Power Plant located in Tarlac. It is
estimated to have a capacity of 22 MW.
Two solar farms are located in San
Manuel, Pangasinan. Pilipinas Newton Energy Corp. and Pilipinas Einstein Energy
Corp. will each work on 70-MW solar project.
Meanwhile, Silay Global Energy
Solutions is working on a 30-MW battery energy storage in Negros Occidental.
Year-to-date, 22 projects have been
cleared for the conduct of GIS.
