Conergy to build 18-MWp solar power plant in Negros Oriental, Philippines

The solar farm will be done by 1Q16.

According to a release, Conergy was recently awarded a new contract by Monte Solar Energy Inc. a joint venture between Ayala Corp.’s AC Energy Holdings Inc. and Bronzeoak Philippines Inc. to build an 18-megawatt (MWp) solar power plant in Bais, Negros Oriental.

The Philippines is fast catching up with some of its ASEAN neighbors like Thailand in recognizing the benefits of powering the country with clean and reliable renewable energy. With over 110 MWp of solar installations now connected to the grid and another 2.5 GW of solar projects planned, the adoption of solar energy in the country has gone mainstream.

This new solar farm will occupy a land area of 213,292 square meters and will generate 24,205 megawatt hours of electricity annually, sufficient power to supply the equivalent of 10,085 households in the region and save 14,838 tons of carbon emissions (CO2) every year.

Conergy will be responsible for the engineering and design, component procurement, and project management of the new plant. This solar farm is scheduled to be completed in the first quarter of next year.
