THE PHILIPPINES on Thursday signaled the start of construction of a P200-billion solar and battery storage project that is expected to supply power to over two million households by 2027.
President Ferdinand R. Marcos, Jr. led the groundbreaking of Meralco Terra (MTerra) Solar project, which consists of a 3,500-megawatt-peak (MWp) solar power plant and a 4,500-megawatt-hour (MWh) battery energy storage system in Nueva Ecija and Bulacan.
Once fully operational by 2027, the project would deliver 3,500 megawatts of solar power to the Luzon grid, Mr. Marcos said in a speech, adding that it would become the “largest integrated solar and battery storage facility in the world.”
