The Department of Energy of the Philippines has allowed seven renewable power projects - three wind projects, three solar projects and a 30 MW battery system totalling 562 MW - to proceed undertaking grid impact studies (GIS). GIS are necessary to determine if the future plant generation can be absorbed by the power grid.
The seven projects include three wind parks developed by Currimao Solar Energy Corp, namely the 150 MW Talisay wind power project in Camarines Norte, the 140 MW Talim wind power project in Rizal and the 80 MW Calatagan wind power project in Batangas. Two 70 MW solar projects are developed in San Manuel (Pangasinan) by Pilipinas Newton Energy and Pilipinas Einstein Energy, while the 22 MW Capas solar power plant is developed by C-Solar Power in Tarlac. Finally, Silay Global Energy Solutions is proposing a 30 MW battery energy storage in Negros Occidental.
So far 22 power projects have been cleared for conducting GIS.
