The Nueva Ecija Solar Farm[1] is a 500 MW solar power plant currently under construction[2] in Peñaranda, Nueva Ecija to be developed by Solar Philippines. When completed it will be the largest solar power facility in the Philippines by capacity.[3][4][5]
The project for the Nueva Ecija solar farm was first conceptualized in 2016. It would be built in phases with the first phase to produce 225 MW.[4] Construction is planned for late-2021.[6]
The facility will be operated under Solar Philippines' subsidiary SP New Energy Corporation (SPNEC).[4]
SPNEC's Manuel Pangilinan announced on March, 2024 plans to sell 40% of the equity in Terra Solar Philippines Inc. to get more investors to build a P200-billion cache. "The investment [for the project] would be at Terra Solar, which is 100 percent owned by SPNEC. Most likely, foreign investors will come in for an up to 40-percent equity stake at the Terra Solar level," Pangilinan said.[7][8]
