Levanta Renewables Expands Clean Energy Footprint In The Philippines With 166 MWp Solar Installation

Levanta Renewables, Southeast Asia’s leading renewable energy platform supported by Actis, a global investor in sustainable infrastructure, has secured the development of a solar and storage project in the Visayas region under the Philippines’ Fourth Green Energy Auction (GEA-4). The project will cover approximately 155 hectares and will feature a 166 MWp ground-mounted solar farm paired with a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS). With a planned capacity of 175 MWAC and an estimated average capacity factor of 43%, the project represents a significant capital investment of around PHP 5 billion aimed at accelerating the Philippines’ transition to clean energy.

Once operational, the solar and storage facility is expected to reduce the country’s dependence on imported fossil fuels and avoid more than 200,000 tons of CO₂ emissions annually. Beyond environmental benefits, the project will provide direct advantages to host communities through ER 1-94 programs, generate tax revenues, create employment opportunities, and support regional economic development through long-term social responsibility initiatives.

Securing this project marks an important milestone for Levanta Renewables as it expands its presence in the Philippines. Pramod Singh, Chief Executive Officer of Levanta Renewables, highlighted that the investment aligns with the company’s strategy of delivering bankable, utility-scale renewable projects with strong long-term fundamentals.

Pankaj Sakhuja, Chief Investment Officer, emphasized that integrating battery storage enhances the project’s value while supporting the country’s broader decarbonization and energy security goals. The project is expected to play a key role in helping the Philippines achieve its national target of generating 35% of its electricity from renewable sources by 2030 and contribute to the development of additional clean energy capacity over the next six years.
