The Filinvest Group has launched its first large-scale solar power facility — a 20.774-megawatt installation in Tagoloan, Misamis Oriental — with over P1 billion in investment. Developed by subsidiary FDC Green Energy Corp., the ground-mounted plant sits inside the PHIVIDEC Industrial Estate, a key economic zone with ideal terrain and access to power infrastructure.
It will generate roughly 30.2 million kilowatt-hours of clean energy yearly and cut carbon emissions by about 21,000 metric tons annually — equal to removing 4,500 cars from the road. A standout feature: it is the country’s first utility-scale solar plant paired with a thermal baseload power facility, according to Energy Secretary Sharon Garin. It uses advanced bifacial panels that produce 30 percent more power than standard models, backed by a 25-year government contract.
Beyond clean energy, the project supports rising local power demand, strengthens grid reliability, and helps make the region more attractive for businesses and communities. As of February 2026, solar accounts for 11.6 percent of the Philippines’ total power capacity, at 3,716 MW out of 32,146 MW overall.
This project marks a milestone in Philippine renewable energy — combining solar with existing thermal power to deliver steady, cleaner supply. It advances national green energy goals, cuts greenhouse gas output, boosts energy security, and drives economic growth in Misamis Oriental by powering industries and communities sustainably.
