Phillippines renewable energy companies have broken ground on the 3.5 GW Terra Solar and 4.5 GWh battery storage project, tipped to be the world''s largest integrated solar and battery facility.
Phillippines-headquartered renewable energy companies Terra Solar Philippines, Inc. (TSPI), power distribution utility Meralco PowerGen Corporation (MGEN) and SP New Energy Corporation (SPNEC) have broken ground for the 3.5 GW Terra Solar and 4.5 GWh battery energy storage system (BESS) project.
As the world''s largest integrated solar and battery storage facility, it will cover 35 square kilometres, about four times larger than Sydney’s Kingsford Smith Airport.
The $6.1 billion (USD 4 billion) project will be divided between five central Phillippines locations in the Nueva Ecija and Bulacan regions, about 92 kilometres north of the capital, Manila.
The China-headquartered energy and infrastructure company China Energy Engineering Group, which operates in 140 countries with projects such as the 40 billion kWh West-East Power Transmission Project under their belt, were recently awarded the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract.
Upon completion, Terra Solar will supply clean energy to approximately 2.4 million households and avoid carbon emissions by an estimated 4.3 million tonnes annually – equivalent to removing over 3 million gasoline-powered vehicles from the roads every year.
The Philippines government''s goal is to achieve a 35% renewable energy mix by 2030 and 50% by 2040, with the country’s current installed renewable energy capacity standing at almost 30% of total energy mix.
Phillippines President Marcos Jnr said the ground breaking marks a leap towards the future driven by innovation and sustained by our collective hope for a cleaner and greener Philippines.
"The Terra Solar power project is designed to address two critical challenges of our time: the surging demand for electricity and the pressing need to shift to renewable and sustainable sources of energy."
The remaining 250 MW will follow in February 2027, reinforcing the company’s pledge to source 1,500 MW of its power supply requirements from renewable energy.
“We are making a statement that the Philippines is not only keeping pace with the global energy transition but more so express our intention, the Philippines'' intention to lead the migration from thermal to renewables," Pangilinan said.
"We will build, we will take action, and we will never stop daring. At the end, this is all showing the world what Filipinos can achieve when the public and private sectors work together with focus and urgency.”

Manila: In a bold move to ramp up its renewable energy ambitions, the Philippines launched a$3.4-billion solar power and battery storage projecthas been kicked off north of the capital.
The MTerra Solar Project, aimed to be the world''s "largest integrated solar and battery storage facility", is located in a 3,500-hectare (35 sq km) land in Nueva Ecija and Bulacan, is designed as a solar power plant and battery storage facility.
This project, launched in the presence of Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr, is slated to create over 10,000 jobs while generating nearly Php23 billion in benefits for local communities, according to project proponents.
The MTerra project is a brainchild of Terra Solar Philippines, Inc. together with Meralco, the country''s biggest utility, PowerGen Corp (MGEN) and SP New Energy Corporation (SPNEC).
Manuel Pangilinan, CEO of Meralco, the utility behind the MTerra Solar Project, said the site will supply power to more than 2 million homes and will cut more than 4.3 million metric tonnes of carbon emissions annually.
"By 2027, this project will be fully operational, with its first phase powering up in March 2026. It will deliver 4,500 megawatt-hours of clean energy, enough for 2.4 million homes, while cutting 3.6 million tons of carbon emissions annually—the equivalent of removing 3 million cars from our roads".
"These numbers show the immense impact of this project, but they don''t capture its full significance. Today, we make a bold statement: the Philippines is not just keeping up with the global energy transition; we aim to lead it," said Manual Pangilinan, CEO of Meralco.
