TeaM Energy Corp. through its retail electricity arm, TeaM Philippines Energy Corp. (TPEC) recently completed the installation of a 1.3 megawatts (MW) solar photovoltaic rooftop system for a tile manufacturing plant in Sto. Tomas, Batangas.
The company said in a statement yesterday that with the development, it has increased its total supplied renewable energy to Mariwasa Siam Ceramics Inc. (MSCI) to 4.4 MW.
“We began supplying an additional 1.3 MW of electricity to MSCI last July. This is on top of the 3.1 MW that we have already been generating for them since last year,” said Tristan Taghoy, TPEC president, in the statement.
TPEC said the completion of the added 1.3 MW of solar electricity for the MSCI plant required the installation of 2,340 units of 550-watt peak solar panels on top of the existing 5,702 units for the 3.1 MW representing the project’s first phase the company installed in May 2023.
The company said that similar to the first phase of partnership with MSCI, the expanded partnership was done under a 25-year solar supply agreement.
TPEC will be responsible for the operation and maintenance of the system throughout the cooperation period.
“Our partnership with MSCI will enable us to supply their plant in Batangas with clean, reliable, and cost effective energy. We are fully committed to providing energy solutions that support the growth and development of Philippine industries,” said Taghoy.
TeaM Energy is one of the largest independent power producers in the country with more than 2,000 MW of installed generating capacity nationwide.
It operates two coal-fired facilities including the 1,200 MW Sual power station in Pangasinan, and the 735 MW Pagbilao power station in Quezon.
