The Department of Energy issued clearances to four solar power companies and a biomass facility to undertake system impact study for the National Grid Corp. of the Philippines.
It said the five renewable energy projects, with a combined capacity of 900 megawatts, were granted clearance in January.
These include the two solar projects of Victorias Green Energy Corp. in Negros Occidental; the 560-MW Tayabas solar project of Solar Philippines Commercial Rooftop Projects Inc. in Quezon province; and Bohol Renewable Energy Corp.’s 20-MW solar project in Ubay, Bohol.
It also approved Victorias Milling Company Inc.’s 70-MW biomass cogeneration plant in Negros Occidental.
The DOE in December also issued clearances to 10 power companies to conduct grid impact study, including six wind power projects of Energy Development Corp.
