PetroGreen Energy Corp. (PGEC) and National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP) linked the 27-megawatt peak Dagohoy Solar Power Project (DSPP) to the Bohol grid on Oct. 26, 2024, which signals the actual start of testing and commissioning of the facility.

PGEC will be the first to successfully build and operate a utility-scale solar power facility in Bohol upon completion of the testing and commissioning of DSPP.

NGCP issued an approval for the energization of DSPP as a load facility on Oct. 24, 2024, establishing the technical viability of the solar plant for grid connection.

NGCP also implemented a tap-in connection of DSPP’s 25 MVa substation to the 69KV Carmen-Ubay Transmission Line on Oct. 5, 2024 and registration to Wholesale Electricity Spot Market on Oct. 18, 2024.

“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,” said PGEC vice president for plant operations Paul Elmer Morala.
