Solar Tanauan’s project partners, including Meralco, PowerChina, and Canadian Solar Inc., were also in attendance.
The Tanauan and Maragondon solar power plants are set to generate up to 140 megawatts, enough to power over 84,000 households and reduce coal consumption by over 100,000 tons annually.
