NKS Solar One Inc., a joint venture between Blueleaf Energy Philippines and NKS Energy Utilities, received a certificate declaring its 250-megawatt peak floating solar project in Caliraya and Lumot Lakes in Laguna as energy project of national significance.
The certificate, issued by the Department of Energy under Executive Order 30, will help expedite and streamline the issuance of necessary permits and clearances from various government agencies and authorities.
It recognizes energy projects that significantly impact the country’s energy security, economic growth, and environmental sustainability.
“We are honored and excited to receive this national recognition. This sends a strong message that our project aligns with the national government’s priorities to address the country’s urgent need for more energy,” said NKS Solar One president Andre Pablo Fausto III in a statement.
Energy projects of national significance are pivotal initiatives identified and endorsed by the DOE, aligning with the Philippine Energy Plan.
