en.Wedoany.com Reported - EcoSolar Energy Corp. (ESEC) has obtained an Environmental Compliance Certificate (ECC) for its 98.2 MWp Panitan Solar Power Project in Capiz, Philippines. ESEC, a subsidiary of PetroGreen Energy Corp. (PGEC), has cleared a key regulatory hurdle in the project's advancement with this certificate.

This approval allows the company to proceed with project preparation and construction. The Panitan project is one of the largest solar facilities planned by the company and is included in the Philippine government's Green Energy Auction Program, which aims to accelerate the deployment of renewable energy nationwide.

Once completed, the project is expected to add nearly 100 MW of clean energy capacity to the Visayas grid, helping to improve the reliability of electricity supply in the region and address recurring energy constraints.

The project also includes an agrivoltaics component, integrating solar power generation with agricultural land use, aiming to optimize land productivity while balancing renewable energy generation and local farming activities.

In addition to solar power generation, the project is expected to be equipped with a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) to enhance grid stability and improve the integration of intermittent renewable energy into the grid.

The Panitan project will become the largest solar facility in PetroGreen's renewable energy portfolio, reflecting the company's strategic expansion in utility-scale solar, energy storage, and hybrid clean energy systems.

Industry observers note that the project will help strengthen energy security in the Visayas region while supporting the Philippines' national goal of increasing the share of renewable energy in its power mix.
