The authorities of PhiLippines held a digital listening to to resolve if the proposed 250 MW floating photo voltaic mission may be linked to the Luzon grid.
NKS Solar One, a three way partnership between Blueleaf Energy Philippines and NKS Energy Utilities, plans to develop, personal, and function a devoted point-to-point restricted transmission facility. It can be in-built Lake Caliraya and Lake Lumot, within the province of Laguna, southeast of Manila.
The firm has sought approval from the Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) to proceed with the mission. The date of the listening to was not disclosed.
According to the submitting doc, the mission consists of two phases: a 162 MW floating photo voltaic array in Caliraya and an 88 MW floating array in Lumot.
NKS Solar One desires to attach the Caliraya website to National Grid Corp.’s 230 kV Lumban Substation. within the Philippines by way of a 6 km, double-circuit 230 kV transmission line. The Lumot website will hook up with the NKS Caliraya Substation by way of a six-kilometer single-circuit, 230 kV transmission line.
The submitting estimates the whole price of the mission at PHP 1.62 billion ($27.6 million), however the closing price could range.
NKS Solar One mentioned the devoted facility mission can be completely financed by the corporate and won’t have an effect on regulated costs. However, altering the connection level of the 230 kV NGCP Lumban Substation can be topic to the reimbursement of the grid operator.
The mission is scheduled to start building within the fourth quarter of this yr, to be accomplished in January 2026 and operations to start within the first quarter of 2026.
Earlier this yr, the Department of Energy within the Philippines mentioned that nearly 2 GW of photo voltaic initiatives to be turned on this yr, which might greater than double the nation’s photo voltaic capability from the top of 2023.
