Renova wins 85-MW Philippine solar auction award in Visayas region
Japan’s Renova Inc has clinched an 85-MW solar project in the Philippines’ Visayas region through a recent competitive auction, adding momentum to the country’s push for more utility-scale renewables. The win gives Renova a new foothold in Southeast Asia’s fast-growing solar market and injects additional daytime capacity into an islanded grid that faces rising demand and periodic transmission bottlenecks. The project will follow a lender-friendly design: high-efficiency modules—many bifacial—on single-axis trackers to extend production into morning and evening shoulders, DC/AC ratios tuned for annual yield, and plant controllers aligned with Philippine grid-code requirements for reactive power, ride-through and ramp-rate limits. Unified SCADA with string-level telemetry should sharpen O&M and lift availability by catching underperforming blocks quickly. Visayas fundamentals are compelling. Industrial loads and tourism are rebounding, while distributed rooftop uptake remains uneven—leaving utility-scale PV as the most direct lever for decarbonising midday supply and tempering wholesale price spikes. Siting near strong substations will be critical to minimize curtailment and manage interconnection timelines. Although storage is not part of the award, modern layouts preserve pad space and transformer headroom for two-to-four-hour batteries that could shift energy into the evening ramp and provide fast frequency support. Community and environmental safeguards are now standard in Philippine builds: traffic and dust controls, storm-water systems sized for heavy rain, glare studies where relevant, and biodiversity plans using native species under arrays. Decommissioning provisions and recycling pathways for modules and balance-of-plant components give long-term assurance to landowners and municipalities. Commercially, Renova can pursue utility or retailer PPAs, or blend corporate offtake to diversify exposure. Early reservations of long-lead gear—transformers, switchgear, protection systems—often dictate schedules more than civil works, so procurement discipline will matter. If execution matches design, Renova’s 85-MW plant will add a meaningful block of local, low-cost daytime generation—reducing fuel imports, cutting emissions and smoothing volatility across the Visayas grid.

ENEOS signs framework to acquire 10 MW of Marubeni PV
Japan’s ENEOS Renewable Energy Corp (ERE) has signed a framework agreement to acquire 10 MWdc of solar power plants that will be developed and constructed by Marubeni Corp. The tie-up adds another tranche of operating PV to ENEOS’ portfolio while giving Marubeni a repeatable sell-down route that recycles capital into new builds. Although the parties did not disclose site locations or expected commercial operation dates, frameworks like this typically cover a small pipeline of distribution-connected assets in multiple prefectures, with staggered closings as plants reach mechanical completion and pass acceptance tests. For ENEOS, the structure creates schedule certainty and quality consistency: Marubeni develops, procures and constructs to a common spec, then transfers fully tested assets with performance warranties and O&M arrangements in place. Technically, the projects are likely to follow a lender-friendly blueprint—high-efficiency modules (in many cases bifacial) on fixed-tilt or compact tracker systems suited to Japanese terrain, string inverters for granular fault isolation, and plant controllers aligned with utility interconnection rules for reactive power support, ramp-rate limits and ride-through. Unified SCADA with string-level telemetry will enable predictive maintenance, while snow and typhoon design measures (wind bracing, reinforced piles, stow strategies) anchor durability. Commercially, ENEOS can blend retail supply to corporate customers with grid sales, while using its O&M scale to lower costs per megawatt. For Marubeni, the arrangement turns development expertise into a reliable cash-recycling engine: originate and de-risk projects, then sell at COD and redeploy proceeds into the next wave. That cadence is increasingly important as equipment lead times normalize and permitting timelines still dominate schedules. Community measures—construction traffic and noise controls, drainage sized for cloudbursts, visual buffers and end-of-life recycling plans—are standard in Japanese approvals and will be carried through to operations. Biodiversity-friendly groundcover and vegetation management beneath arrays are expected to reduce erosion and maintenance passes. Bottom line: a modest headline capacity with outsized strategic value—ENEOS secures bankable domestic PV with operational synergies, while Marubeni locks in a repeat buyer to accelerate pipeline conversion without balance-sheet drag.
