Solar Philippines' 3.5GW Terra Solar Project

• Solar Philippines is constructing an unprecedented 3.5-GW Terra Solar complex, featuring a 4 GWh battery storage system and generating 7,000 jobs in the process. Once operational, this ambitious project will be the largest solar complex in Southeast Asia.

The project development is reportedly the largest solar complex in Southeast Asia. Once operational, the 3.5-GW Solar complex is expected to reach a capacity factor of 36% and it is estimated to generate 7,000 jobs during its construction phase.

Solar Philippines Nueva Ecija Corporation is advancing work on its ambitious 3.5-GW Terra Solar project, with site clearing activities underway in preparation for the construction works. The project consists of a PHP-200-billion investment and will be completed in phases, with the first phase expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2026. It will be the largest solar complex in Southeast Asia, also featuring a 4 GWh battery energy storage system. The 3.5-GW power complex is projected to create 7,000 jobs during its construction phase.

What is the Impact of the 3.5-GW Terra Solar Project?

Impact of the 3.5-GW Terra Solar Project:

• The project is expected to generate around 20.7 TWh of clean energy annually, helping reduce the Philippines’ carbon emissions by 18 million tons.
• It will be the largest solar complex in Southeast Asia, the largest power station in the Philippines, and it will provide enough energy to power around 3 million households.
• The project is expected to create 7,000 jobs during its construction phase and will give a much needed boost to the economy.
• The project is expected to contribute to the stability of the Philippine energy sector and make the country energy independent by reducing its dependency on imported fossil fuels.
• The project will also help reduce the cost of electricity for consumers, as solar energy is cheaper than other sources of energy.
