PAVI Green Renewable Energy Inc. said Friday it expects to complete two new large solar power projects with a combined capacity of 86 megawatts (MW) by 2025.
PAVI Green said in a statement the solar projects are located in San Vicente, Camarines Norte (36 MW) and in Naga, Camarines Sur (50 MW).
PAVI Green through subsidiary PAVI Green Orion is commissioning a 20-MW solar facility in Bataan.
The company said its large-scale solar projects and solar rooftop projects form part of its commitment to paving the way for a sustainable future.
PAVI Green launched its solar-powered malls project with Vista Malls and ALL Home Luzon branches at Vista Mall Sta Rosa recently.
The solar rooftop projects are expected to generate an average kWh output of 467,647.41 kilowatt-hour each month in all Vista Malls and All Home Luzon branches.
It is also expected to reduce carbon emissions equivalent to 3,754,273.4 kilograms per year or equivalent to 22,526 planted trees.
“Sustainable energy is the future, and we hope to significantly contribute to the renewable energy targets in the country through these kinds of commercial partnerships. This milestone marks a significant step in our efforts to save the environment and enables us to become cost-efficient in terms of our electricity costs. We are also glad to give our customers the opportunity to contribute to saving the planet while enjoying their retail experience,” Vista Land and Lifescapes Inc. president and chief executive Paolo Villar said.
The solar panels are energizing Vista Mall branches in Sta. Rosa, Laguna; Tanza and Dasmarinas, Cavite; Bataan and Pampanga; as well as Starmall San Jose Del Monte, Bulacan. For All Home branches, it is energizing Imus and Kawit, Cavite; Antipolo, Rizal; San Ildefonso, Bulacan; Cabanatuan, Nueva Ecija; and Santiago and Cauayan in Isabela province.
About 11,315 solar panels are installed in all 14 stores in Luzon with an average capacity of 432-kilowatt peak of total power from the solar panels, saving an average of 10 to 15 percent of the electricity costs in each branch.
