Petro Green Energy Corp. (PGEC) has partnered with Isuzu Autoparts Manufacturing Corp. (IAMC) for the installation of a 3.002 megawatt peak (MWp) rooftop solar project.
The parties said the project to be located at IAMC’s manufacturing facility in Laguna will start construction within the year and expected to be completed by second quarter next year.
Upon completion, the rooftop solar project will be among the largest commercial and industrial rooftop solar facilities in Laguna. The installation will also feature state-of-the-art solar panels and inverters, optimized for high efficiency and reliability.
Once operational, the solar project is expected to generate approximately 4,000 megawatt-hours of clean energy annually, significantly reducing the facility’s dependence on external power source and cutting IAMC’s carbon emissions by approximately 3,000 metric tons per year.
“This partnership with PGEC is more than about energy efficiency and power cost reduction.
It is a testament of IAMC’s corporate commitment on Isuzu Environmental Vision 2050 to environmental stewardship, support of UN’s Sustainable Development Goals and the Philippines Ambisyon Natin 2040,” said Seiji Mizutani, IAMC president, in a statement.
Meanwhile, Francisco Delfin Jr., PGEC president and chief executive officer, said the project is also “the latest and biggest addition” to the company’s growing commercial and industrial solar portfolio that now includes commercial, educational and manufacturing partners.
“It also contributes to DOE’s (Department of Energy’s) goals of greater energy efficiency and clean energy use in the auto manufacturing sector. We are delighted to have Isuzu as our partner in this shared mission towards energy sufficiency and environmental sustainability,” Delfin added.
PGEC’s other investments include the 32 megawatts (MW) Maibarara geothermal power project in Batangas; the 50 MW Nabas wind power project in Aklan; and the 70 MW Tarlac solar power project.
