The Philippines inaugurates first phase of massive solar-storage project

The MTerra Solar project in the Philippines is a large-scale solar-plus-storage facility that will deliver 3.5 GW of solar capacity and 4.5 GWh of energy storage once completed. The first phase has energized 1,373 MW of solar and 825 MW of battery energy storage, fulfilling a 600 MW mid-merit power supply agreement with Meralco. The President of the Philippines emphasized the importance of diversifying energy sources towards renewables to reduce reliance on coal for power generation. This project is a significant step towards boosting the energy sector and increasing the share of renewables in the country's energy mix, showcasing the potential for large-scale renewable energy projects to drive sustainable solutions for climate change.
