The Department of Energy (DOE) has
cleared three power projects for the conduct of a grid impact study (GIS).
A clearance for the conduct of a GIS
is necessary for a power firm before it can proceed with the construction of
its power project.
The proposed projects could generate
a total of 654-megawatts (MW).
Based on a recently released DOE
data, the project proponents that were allowed to proceed with the GIS are
Solar Philippines Commercial Rooftop Projects Inc., Isabela Power Corp. and
Energence Renewable Energy Corp.
Solar Philippines plans to put up a
2×300 MW solar-power facility in Iba-Palauig, Zambales. It was issued the green
light for the conduct of a GIS on November 2, 2017.
Isabela Power, meanwhile, plans to
put up a 19-MW hydro-power plant in San Mariano and San Guillermo, Isabela.
Energence Renewable also plans to
put up a solar plant with a 35-MW capacity in Clark Freeport Zone, Pampanga.
The DOE’s go ahead to Isabela Power
was issued last November 17, while Energence secured its approval
last November 24.
