JGC Holdings Corporation announces that JGC Philippines, Inc. has been awarded the Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) contract of a mega solar power plant generation project with 94MWdc capacity in Bugallon, Pangasinan, Philippines for Aboitiz Power Corporation, through a special-purpose vehicle wholly owned by the company’s subsidiary Aboitiz Renewables, Inc. (ARI)

A large number of renewable energy projects are under development in the Philippines due to the Philippine government’s introduction of Renewable Portfolio Standards (RPS), a market-based policy that mandates electricity suppliers to source an agreed portion of their energy supply from eligible renewable energy resources Aboitiz Power, leading power producer in the Philippines, is targeting to expand its total power generation capacity to 9,200 MW by 2030, half of which will come from various renewable energy sources.

This project is recognized as the first solar power plant generation project developed by AboitizPower in Luzon. The firm will continue to develop more renewable power plant projects over the next 10 years to contribute to supporting the energy transition in the country.
