AboitizPower adds over 200 MW of RE capacity to help alleviate tight supply

With its second phase recently coming online, the 159 MWp Laoag Solar Power Plant in Aguilar, Pangasinan commenced exporting much-needed electricity to the grid over the weekend.

A series of yellow and red alerts were declared in the country’s main grids in the past few weeks due to forced outages of some power plants and rising power demand amidst high temperatures. Yellow alerts indicate insufficient operating margins to meet contingency requirements, while red alerts signify inadequate power supply to meet consumer demand.

Flat agricultural land is often repurposed as solar fields, wherein one MW of solar power generation requires about one hectare of land. By consciously building on non-arable soil, AboitizPower can help keep more farmers on the land, protect valuable farmland, and support the agricultural economy. Following these solar power projects, the 17 MW Tiwi Binary Geothermal Power Plant will also come online within the second quarter of this year. Co-located with the Tiwi Geothermal Power Plant in Albay, the binary plant harvests residual heat from the hot brine side of the geothermal production process, otherwise unutilized before reinjecting back to the earth, to produce more electricity.
