The MTerra solar project in the Philippines, set to be the world's largest solar-plus-storage site, has achieved initial synchronization and energization to the Luzon grid. The project features a planned 3.5 GW solar and 4.5 GWh battery energy storage system, with the first phase expected to cover 2.5 GW of solar and 3.3 MWh of BESS. The project aims to have 250 MWac of solar capacity and 112.5 MWh of battery energy storage capacity ready for operation by the end of the month, with plans for further capacity ramp-up in the following months. The completion of the first phase is scheduled for later this year, and work on phase two has already begun.
