Renewable energy developer PetroSolar Corp. on Tuesday announced its 20-megawatt Tarlac-2 Solar Power Project started delivering power to the Luzon grid on Monday as part of commissioning tests.
The delivery of power from Tarlac-2 solar while under commissioning comes three months after PetroSolar filed an application with the Energy Regulatory Commission and after compliance with the metering and connection standards of National Grid Power Corp. and market registration requirements of the Independent Electricity Market Operator of the Philippines.
“PetroSolar is pleased to add power supply to the Luzon grid especially during these times of thinning power reserves that have led to instances of rotating brownouts. Our commissioning of Tarlac-2 supports the Department of Energy’s mission of ensuring more power supply as the country heads into the important May elections,” said Dave Gadiano, energy marketing manager of PetroGreen Energy Corp.
