TAGOLAON, Misamis Oriental—FDC Green Energy Corp. (FDC Green), a wholly owned subsidiary of Filinvest Group’s utility arm FDC Utilities, Inc. (FDCUI), has secured a Certificate of Compliance (COC) from the Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) for its 20.774-megawatt peak (MWp) ground-mounted solar facility at the PHIVIDEC Industrial Estate, signaling readiness to supply power to the grid.
The project is expected to generate about 30.2 million kilowatt-hours of net clean energy annually. The COC confirms the plant’s compliance with the ERC’s technical, safety and regulatory standards, clearing the way for commercial operations.
“The Certificate of Compliance marks a critical step in bringing this project online,” said Juan Eugenio L. Roxas, president and CEO of FDCUI and its subsidiaries, including FDC Green. “It reflects our adherence to rigorous standards and our focus on building efficient energy systems that support economic growth and sustainability.”
Once operational, the facility will add capacity to the Mindanao grid, where supply reliability remains a priority. The development comes amid heightened global energy uncertainty tied to geopolitical tensions, which have intensified volatility in fuel markets.
“The ongoing energy crisis underscores the need for reliable and sustainable power solutions,” Roxas said. “In an environment of unpredictable global fuel prices, investments in indigenous and renewable energy sources are increasingly vital.”
The Misamis solar project forms part of Filinvest Group’s broader push to expand its renewable energy portfolio. Company officials said the initiative aligns with long-term plans to scale clean energy assets while helping address rising demand in regional grids.
FDC Green said the project also positions the group to pursue additional renewable developments, as it seeks to deliver stable, cost-efficient power and create shared value for host communities and stakeholders.
