PetroGreen Energy Corporation (PGEC), the renewable energy arm of PetroEnergy Resources Corporation (PERC), says that its 27 megawatt peak (MWp) Dagohoy Solar Power Project (DSPP) has been successfully linked to the Bohol grid on October 26.
In a disclosure to the Philippine Stock Exchange, PERC reported that the Dagohoy Solar Power Project (DSPP) has been deemed technically ready for grid integration following the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines’ (NGCP) approval to energize it as a load facility, marking a crucial step toward full operational capacity.
“The collaboration and combined efforts from all stakeholders paved the way for this important milestone for DSPP. The successful link up proves our team’s dedication and commitment to support the national agenda on increased renewable energy adoption,” says PGEC VP for Plant Operations Engr. Paul Elmer C. Morala.
This development sets the stage for the plant’s transition into full commercial operations, after the DSPP’s 25 megavolt amperes (MVA) substation was connected to the 69 kilovolt (kV) Carmen-Ubay Transmission Line on October 5, and its registration with the Wholesale Electricity Spot Market was completed on October 18.
“Moreover, with the upcoming start of testing and commissioning as a generation facility, the DSPP is set to begin providing clean energy to Bohol, further supporting its booming economic and tourism landscape,” adds Engr. Morala.
The DSPP marks a significant step for Rizal Green Energy Corporation, a joint venture between PGEC and Japan’s Taisei Corporation.
With its successful commissioning, PGEC will pave the way for Bohol’s renewable energy transition, becoming the first to introduce large-scale solar energy production in the province.
