AboitizPower is one of the biggest power companies in the Philippines and the Calatrava project is one of the five projects in its portfolio of solar power projects which has nearly 1,000 MW of renewable energy projects in the pipeline, with plans to build at least 3,700 MW by 2030.
Spanning approximately 143 hectares of relatively flat terrain with rolling slopes, the Calatrava project will utilise a fixed ground-mounted solar installation and is planned to be connected via 230kV voltage to the Calatrava substation.
AFRY will play a key role in the project by providing project management assistance, design review and support services during the construction and commissioning of the solar power plant, including the interconnection facility up to the Calatrava substation. The project aims to export electricity to the grid by the end of 2024.
“AFRY is proud to have been selected as the Owner’s Engineer in this major solar project. This partnership with AboitizPower underscores AFRY’s commitment to advancing sustainable energy solutions and supporting the Philippines’ transition towards a cleaner and greener future”, says Nicky Gemperle, President of AFRY Philippines.
AFRY stands as one of the largest power sector engineering consulting companies in the Philippines, supporting the country’s transition towards clean energy by serving project owners, lenders and contractors with technical, market and environmental and social advisory services, Engineering Procurement and Construction Management (EPCM), and operation and maintenance consultancy.
