Renewable energy firm PacificSun Renewables Corp. has unveiled plans for a massive PHP 4.9-billion solar power project in Paoay, set to generate up to 120.96 megawatts (MW) of clean energy and advance the Philippines’ shift toward sustainable power sources.

The Paoay Solar Power Project will span approximately 81.81 hectares across Barangays Mumulaan, Suba, and Nagbacalan, situated within a timberland area under Proclamation No. 150. This zone is co-managed by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) and the Ilocos Norte provincial government, primarily for eco-tourism and reforestation efforts.

As an affiliate of Sta. Clara Power Corp. and Sta. Clara International Corp., PacificSun is committed to developing, owning, and managing renewable energy facilities across the country. In its project description submitted to the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), the company underscores the project’s goals to “improve energy security and dependability, promote a cleaner environment, and stimulate local economic growth” by generating jobs and providing stable green energy.

Construction is projected to last 12 to 18 months, including testing and commissioning, pending all required permits.  

DENR’s Environmental Management Bureau (EMB) Region 1 has issued a notice for public scoping on October 23, 2025, inviting brief community input on the proposal.
