Alternergy’s 28 MWp Balsik Solar Power Plant starts delivering clean power

Alternergy’s 28 MWp Balsik Solar Power Plant in Bataan starts commercial operations   

• 28 MWp of renewable energy to power large industrial and commercial customers

• Balsik Solar Power Plant boosts Alternergy’s growing solar assets, a combination of ground-mounted, commercial rooftop, and solar + battery energy storage

• First of the four (4) Alternergy power projects to be in commercial operations in 2026

• Alternergy is developing new pioneering floating solar and solar battery projects under GEA 4 with a combined capacity of up to 240 MWp 

Renewable power pioneer Alternergy Holdings Corporation (Alternergy), through its unit Solana Solar Alpha, Inc. (SSAI), announced it has started the commercial operations of its 28 MWp Balsik Solar Power Plant located in Hermosa, Bataan. 

“Following the completion of the testing and commissioning and the issuance of the Final Certificate of Authority to Connect (FCATC) by the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP), the Balsik Solar Power Plant will start delivering clean and renewable power,” Gerry P. Magbanua, president of Alternergy and director of SSAI, said.

“It will generate 45,000 MWh of renewable energy annually and directly provide power to industrial and commercial customers in support of their sustainability initiatives,” he added. It is also expected to contribute to environmental protection with an estimated 31,000 avoided carbon emissions.

The Balsik Solar Power Plant utilizes 45,600 bifacial solar modules with six inverter stations across 30 hectares of land. It is connected to the NGCP Hermosa Substation via a short 300-meter 69kV transmission line.  

“The Balsik Solar Power Plant expands our growing portfolio of solar assets, reinforcing Alternergy’s commitment to sustainable energy,” Mr. Magbanua said. To date, Alternergy owns and operates 10 existing solar farms, a combination of ground-mounted, commercial rooftop solar, and solar + battery energy storage, and is developing three more projects recently won under Green Energy Auction (GEA) 4. These are the Liberty Floating Solar Power Projects Phase 1 and 2 and the Kalandagan Solar + Energy Storage System, with a combined capacity of up to 240 MWp.

The Balsik Solar Power Plant is also the first of four (4) new power projects to be completed in 2026.

“This is a pivotal and busy year for the Alternergy Group. During 2026, we are inaugurating four (4) projects across our Triple Play portfolio of solar, wind, and hydro resource technologies, with a total combined capacity of 225 MW,” Mr. Magbanua said. “Alternergy’s core strength is in building power projects from pre-development all the way to commercial phase. This is most evident as we bring in four projects online and start a steady flow of revenues for the company starting this year.”
