PetroGreen to Develop 98-MW Solar and 20-MW Battery Storage Project in Capiz

PetroGreen Energy Corporation (PGEC), the renewable energy arm of PetroEnergy Resources Corporation (PERC), is set to develop a 98-megawatt solar power project and a 20 MW battery energy storage system (BESS) in Capiz. The project will enhance PGEC's renewable energy capacity while addressing grid stability issues in the Visayas region.

Maria Victoria M. Olivar, Senior Vice President for Operations and Business Development at PERC, confirmed that PGEC owns the land for the project and is in the process of securing permits. The BESS will play a crucial role in stabilizing the grid and providing frequency regulation.

The Capiz project is part of PGEC’s expansion across Luzon and the Visayas. The company’s 27 MW Dagohoy Solar Power Project in Bohol, which began exporting power in November 2024, will generate 36 GWh annually and reduce carbon emissions by 28,642 tons each year. Similarly, the San Jose Solar Project in Nueva Ecija, upgraded to 19.6 MW, will produce 29 million kilowatt-hours of electricity annually.

PGEC’s 40 MWdc Limbauan Solar Power Project in Isabela is under construction and expected to be completed by the third quarter of 2025, generating 59 GWh annually.

Olivar emphasized PGEC’s commitment to community engagement, noting that over 300 local residents have participated in solar panel installation training, creating green jobs alongside clean energy production.

PGEC is also advancing its wind energy projects, with the Nabas Wind Project in Aklan and the Maibarara 3 Geothermal Power Plant in Batangas in the pipeline, further expanding its renewable energy footprint in the Philippines.
