The Arayat-Mexico solar farm, a joint venture between Citicore and ACEN, Ayala group’s listed energy platform, reached its full capacity last March 23, 2022 and is expected to add much needed capacity to the grid in time for the demand surge during the hot summer season. Construction team is ready to break ground the Phase 2 by next month which will increase the total plant capacity to 116 MW upon completion hopefully before the end of the yearAfter its successful energization, the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines will be conducting its own set of testing for grid compliance, which is expected to be completed by the second week of April.Once fully operational, the 72 MW solar farm will produce 105 GWh of renewable energy annually, enough to power 45,000 households while avoiding approximately 72,000 MT of CO2 emissions annually. The solar project has a potential expansion of up to 116 MW.
