Arayat-Mexico solar farm to export power to the Luzon grid

This is in time for the demand surge during the Philippines’ summer season.

The 72-megawatt (MW) Arayat-Mexico solar farm, a joint venture between Citicore and ACEN, will be exporting additional capacity to the Luzon Grid after it reached its full capacity in March.

This is in time for the anticipated increase in demand during the summer season in the Philippines.

According to the Citicore and ACEN, the 72MW solar farm will produce 105 gigawatt-hour of renewable energy annually. This has the capacity to power some 45,000 households, whilst also preventing approximately 72,000 megatonnes of carbon emissions per year.

Citicore CEO Oliver Tan noted that the second phase of the Arayat-Mexico solar farm will begin construction by next month.

The Phase 2 of the project is expected to increase the total plant capacity to 116 MW. It is target to be completed before the end of the year.

“This huge solar plant shall be managed and operated in-house by our Citicore Property Managers, Inc., currently, we have eight solar farms and one micro-grid solar rooftops under our management,” Tan said.

Global clean energy tech market to hit $2t by 2035

This is fuelled by investments as countries aim to enhance energy security.The global clean energy technology market is projected to grow from $700b in 2023 to over $2t by 2035, nearing the scale of the crude oil market, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA).This growth is fuelled by significant investments in clean technology manufacturing as countries aim to enhance energy security, maintain economic competitiveness, and cut emissions. Investment is concentrated in regions with established positions in clean energy, particularly China, the European Union, the UK, and increasingly, India.Whilst the US, EU, and India have taken measures to support their clean energy sectors, China is expected to remain the world's manufacturing hub. By 2035, China's clean technology exports are forecasted to exceed $340b—comparable to projected oil export revenues from Saudi Arabia and the UAE.Southeast Asia, Latin America, and Africa contribute less than 5% of global cleantech production value, yet the IEA suggests that these areas still hold opportunities within the clean energy economy. Developing economies, for instance, could leverage competitive advantages to advance in the value chain beyond resource extraction.The IEA said Southeast Asia could become one of the most cost-effective regions for producing polysilicon and wafers for solar panels over the next decade.
