Aboitiz Renewables Inc. is implementing an expansion plan targeting 4,600 megawatts of clean energy capacity by 2030. Its renewable energy portfolio currently includes solar, wind, hydro, and geothermal projects.

One of the projects under development by the company is a hybrid solar project in Talingaan village, Laoag City, which is currently in the site selection phase. The plan includes a 187-megawatt-peak solar farm and a 277-megawatt-hour battery energy storage system, utilizing the city's dune areas.
