The Philippines is set to host the world’s largest solar park with the launch of a massive project valued at PHP 185.28 billion (USD 3.25 billion). The project will be equipped with 3.5 GW of solar panels and a 4.5 GWh battery energy storage system, covering an area of 3,500 hectares across the provinces of Nueva Ecija and Bulacan.
In July, the project was awarded the "Certificate of Energy Project of National Significance" by the Department of Energy (DOE) of the Philippines, a designation reserved for energy projects with capital investments exceeding USD 59 million. Following this, the Board of Investments (BOI) granted the project a Green Lane Certification, ensuring streamlined processes and expedited approvals for necessary permits and clearances.
