Trinasolar Powers 40MW Solar Milestone in Northern Philippines with PetroGreen

Solar-Project

Trinasolar, a global leader in smart photovoltaic (PV) and energy storage solutions, has supplied over 52,000 high-efficiency n-type i-TOPCon Vertex N 710-715W modules for the 40MWdc Limbauan Solar Power Project (LSPP) in San Pablo, Isabela, Philippines. This landmark renewable energy project is being developed by *BKS Green Energy Corporation (BKS)—a subsidiary of Rizal Green Energy Corporation (RGEC), a joint venture between *PetroGreen Energy Corporation (PGEC) and Japan’s TAISEI Corporation.

Set to generate approximately *59 GWh of clean electricity annually, the project will power around *33,000 households while reducing carbon dioxide emissions by roughly 31,700 metric tons per year. LSPP is being developed in two phases:

  • Phase 1: 6MWdc connected to Isabela Electric Cooperative-II (ISELCO-II)
  • Phase 2: 34MWdc connected to the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines’ (NGCP) 69 kV line via a 4.73 km transmission link.

Trinasolar’s contribution goes beyond cutting-edge modules—it has also conducted on-site training programs to help upskill the local workforce. The project is expected to create 500–600 jobs at peak construction, stimulating the regional economy in Cagayan Valley.

*Maria Victoria M. Olivar, PGEC VP for Business Development, highlighted the importance of strong collaboration among stakeholders, while **Isabela Governor Rodolfo T. Albano III, through *Atty. Angelynn C. Salazar, lauded the joint efforts of government, private sector, and local communities.

*Elva Wang, Trinasolar’s Southeast Asia Group Director, emphasized the Philippines’ vast solar potential, noting that the deployment of the latest *Vertex N 720W modules strengthens the company’s strategic partnership with PetroGreen, which includes a 117MW supply agreement signed in April 2024.

This milestone project marks a bold stride in advancing the Philippines’ clean energy goals and demonstrates the transformative power of public-private collaboration in sustainable development.
