Trina Solar and PetroGreen Partner to Boost Philippine Solar Adoption with 117MW Supply Agreement

Singapore- Trina Solar, a global leader in smart PV and energy storage solutions, and Philippine renewable energy developer PetroGreen Energy Corporation (a subsidiary of publicly-listed PetroEnergy Resources Corporation, a member of the Yuchengco Group of Companies) signed a master supply agreement (MSA) April 17 to facilitate the Philippines’  solar energy expansion.

Under the MSA, Trina Solar will supply 117MW of high-performance PV Solar modules to various projects in the Philippines spearheaded by PetroGreen’s subsidiary, Rizal Green Energy Corporation (RGEC).

Combining Trina Solar’s  cutting-edge solar technology  with PetroGreen’s extensive experience  in the Philippine renewable energy sector, this partnership is poised to significantly contribute to the Philippine government’s target of 35% renewable energy by 2030.

Trina Solar and PetroGreen has forged a steadfast partnership since 2015. The collaboration has already seen success with the delivery of 27 MW of modules to PetroGreen’s Dagohoy solar PV project on the island of Bohol. This project- which is reportedly the first large-scale solar farm on the island- is due to be completed this year. It aims to help the island province reduce its dependence on fossil fuels.

Building on this foundation of success, Trina Solar will also supply modules to PetroGreen’s projects including those un the provinces of Nueva Ecija, Pangasinan and Isabela.

Altogether, these projects will utilize more than 129,00] modules, generating an estimated annual energy yield of 129.14GWh. This amount of electricity is sufficient to power 53,800 Philippine homes each year based on averaged household consumption.

Todd Li, President of Trina Solar Asia Pacific, and Maria Victoria M. Olivet, PetroGreen’s Vice President for Commercial Operations & Business Development signed the MSA in Singapore.
