This landmark initiative marks a significant step forward in the Philippines' renewable energy landscape, as MIESCOR takes on a crucial role in the delivery of clean energy generated by the massive solar facility.

The contract signing, attended by prominent figures including MGreen President and CEO Dennis B. Jordan, MGen President and CEO Emmanuel V. Rubio, Meralco COO Ronnie L. Aperocho, and MIESCOR President and CEO Richard O. Ochava, formalizes MIESCOR’s commitment to this ambitious project.

MIESCOR will construct a 34.5/230/500-kilovolt (kV) Main Collector Substation, two 34.5/230-kV Solar PV Satellite Collector Substations, and two double-circuit 230-kV Transmission Lines.

These components are essential for efficiently collecting and transmitting power generated by the photovoltaic (PV) plant to the national grid.

“MIESCOR plays a crucial role in connecting the Terra Solar plant to the grid, and we are excited to be part of this groundbreaking step in renewable energy,” Ochava stated.

He further emphasized MIESCOR's commitment to advancing renewable energy infrastructure, positioning the company as a leading force in sustainable development within the Philippines.

The Terra Solar Project is set to be the largest solar facility in the country, featuring a staggering 3,500-megawatt peak (MWp) solar plant and a 4,500-megawatt-hour (MWh) Battery Energy Storage System (BESS).

Spanning the provinces of Nueva Ecija and Bulacan, the project is already underway, with operations focused on meeting energization targets.

The first phase, aiming for 2,500 MWp, is scheduled for completion by 2026, followed by the second phase by 2027.

In a related development, MIESCOR has also announced that its subsidiary, MIESCOR Infrastructure Development Corporation (MIDC), has successfully formed a joint venture with Phil-Tower Consortium Inc. (PhilTower) to create one of the largest independent tower companies in the Philippines.

This partnership will enhance telecommunications infrastructure, facilitating the rollout of wireless technologies and expanding access to mobile broadband across the nation.

As MIESCOR continues to support the advancement of renewable energy and telecommunications, the company remains committed to connecting more Filipinos to the future of mobile broadband technologies, thereby propelling the country toward a more inclusive, tech-driven economy.
