Philippine solar project of 65 MW secures govt permit

The Philippine government has given the green light to an up to 65-MW solar project proposed by local developer Burgos Pangasinan Solar Energy Corp on the country’s Luzon island.

A green lane certificate authorising the project was issued by the Board of Investments (BOI), an agency under the Department of Trade and Industry, on Tuesday. The estimated value of the proposal stands at PHP 2.7 billion (USD 48.2m/EUR 44.8m).

Planned to be installed in Burgos municipality, in the coastal province of Pangasinan, the photovoltaic (PV) park will cover 71.5 ha (176.7 acres) of land and will have an installed capacity of between 50 MW and 65 MW. It is expected to kick off commercial operations in September 2026.

Burgos Pangasinan is controlled by Rising Renewables Holdings. Its project is seen to support the Philippines’ target of achieving a 35% renewable energy share in the power generation mix by the end of the decade.
