Yuchengco-led PetroGreen Energy Corporation and Isuzu Partner on 3MWp Laguna Solar Rooftop Project

Yuchengco-led PetroGreen Energy Corporation (PGEC) and Isuzu Autoparts Manufacturing Corporation (IAMC) signed on July 23, 2024, a contract for the installation of a 3.002 megawatt peak (MWp) rooftop solar project at IAMC’s manufacturing facility in Laguna. The project will commence during the 3Q of 2024 and is expected to be completed by 2Q 2025. Upon completion, it will be among the largest commercial and industrial (C&I) rooftop solar facilities in Laguna.

IAMC President Seiji Mizutani expressed his support for the project, stating “This partnership with PGEC is more than about energy efficiency and power cost reduction. It is a testament of IAMC’s Corporate Commitment on Isuzu Environmental Vision 2050 to environmental stewardship, support of UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) and the Philippines Ambisyon Natin 2040.”

The installation will feature state-of-the-art solar panels and inverters, optimized for high efficiency and reliability. Once operational, the solar project is expected to generate approximately 4,000 megawatt-hours (MWh) of clean energy annually, significantly reducing the facility’s dependence on external power source and cutting IAMC’s carbon emissions by approximately 3,000 metric tons per year.

PGEC President & CEO F.G. Delfin Jr., “This project is the latest and biggest addition to our growing C&I solar portfolio that now includes commercial, educational, and manufacturing partners. It also contributes to DOE’s goals of greater energy efficiency and clean energy use in the auto manufacturing sector. We are delighted to have Isuzu as our partner in this shared mission towards energy sufficiency and environmental sustainability.”
