The Philippines is officially entering a new era of energy with a landmark 4.99 MW floating solar plant on the Malubog Reservoir in Toledo City, Cebu.
The floating photovoltaic farm is a pioneering project, a collaboration between Carmen Copper Corp. and the global engineering firm Black & Veatch. It is the first of its kind in the Philippines. Innovative renewable energy solutions can be seamlessly integrated into industrial operations.
Black & Veatch, the project’s Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) contractor, brought the vision to life. The effort included installing 8,540 solar panels, a new prefabricated substation, and a six-kilometer overhead distribution line to connect the plant to Carmen Copper’s existing grid.
