combined with another plant in Tanauan, Batangas, supplies up to 128 megawatts of clean and
renewable energy. The project is a first for wholly owned subsidiary Prime Solar and aligns with Prime
Infra’s strategy of addressing the need for a stable energy supply and accelerating the transition to
sustainable energy sources.
Prime Solar Solutions Corp. (Prime Solar), a wholly owned subsidiary of Prime Infra, recently activated its 128-megawatt photovoltaic (PV) plants located in Tanauan, Batangas and Maragondon, Cavite, marking a milestone towards full commercial operations.
“Both the Tanauan and Maragondon plants recently commenced operations, advancing Prime Infra’s broader strategy of harnessing renewable energy sources to meet the growing demand for stable power supply,” said Guillaume Lucci, President and CEO of Prime Infra.
The Tanauan plant successfully connected to the New Milagrosa 115 kV Switching Station on October 1, while the Maragondon plant linked to the 115 kV TMC-2 substation on October 10. These connections have enabled the integration of both plants into Meralco’s power grid.
Prime Solar has a 50-megawatt, 20-year power supply agreement with Meralco, and supplies the rest of its output to the grid.
Meralco recently issued the Final Certificates of Approval to Connect (FCATC) for both of the Tanauan and Maragondon plants, which was submitted to the Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) as a final step to secure the Certificate of Compliance needed to declare full commercial operations.
Combined, the Tanauan and Maragondon PV plants supply up to 128 megawatts of clean, renewable energy, powering over 84,000 households and expected to displace more than 100,000 tons of coal annually.
“Reaching this milestone with Prime Solar highlights our ongoing commitment to creating a cleaner, sustainable future. Our investment in renewable energy not only meets immediate needs but also supports long-term growth with environmental sustainability at its core,” Lucci said.
Energy Undersecretary Rowena Guevara earlier recognized the Prime Solar project as a significant addition to the national government’s transition to clean energy future to achieve national renewable energy program target of 35 percent in the generation mix by 2030, and 50 percent in 2040.
