MRC Allied, a leading property developer based in the Philippines, has revealed a bold ambition to install and own 1 GW of renewable energy by 2022.
The company says that “now is the perfect time” to expand into the energy sector as demand for power – particularly clean power – increases in the Philippines.
The firm hopes to build and buy its way to that 1 GW figure, and will end 2017 with at least 160 MW of solar PV capacity on its books. This solar figure is comprised of a 100 MW and a 60 MW solar plant, located in Clark Green City, Pampanga, and Nagu City, Cebu.
