BGEC’s Bugallon solar project secures two major milestones

Bugallon, Pangasinan- Yuchengco-led Bugallon Green Energy Corp (BGEC)recently secured two important milestones for its 25MWdc  Bugallon Solar Power Project (BSPP) in Bugallon, Pangasinan – the Certificate of Energy Project of National Significance Agreement and Distribution Wheeling Service Agreement with Central Pangasinan Electric Cooperative (CENPELCO).
BGEC is one of four RE special purpose vehicles under Rizal Green Energy Corp. (RGEC).

The latter, in turn, is a joint venture between Taisei Corporation, one of Japan’s biggest infrastructure construction companies and PetroGreen Energy Corporation, a member of the Yuchengco Group of Companies (YGC).
On November 13, 2024, the DOE awarded the CEPNS to BSPP signifying the project’s vital role in the country’s energy security and economic development initiatives. The CEPNS also serves as DOE’s endorsement to other government agencies to ensure a faster and more efficient permitting process for energy projects.
In addition, on November 15, 2024, BGEC entered into a partnership with CENPELCO with the signing of the connection, distribution, and wheeling services agreements. These agreements will ensure the seamless integration of BSPP into the national grid through CENPELCO’s distribution system.

CENPELCO President Mr. Marlon S. Magalong expressed their enthusiasm for the solar project and their support to BGEC.

“We are pleased to partner with BGEC for the connection and transmission of their solar facility. This is aligned with our mandate to deliver prompt, efficient, and reliable power service to consumers and our commitment to help Pangasinan
become more attractive for investors and
