Subject of the Disclosure

Solar Philippines secures over 2000 hectares for “world’s largest solar farm”

Background/Description of the Disclosure

After two months since the Stock Rights Offering (SRO) of Solar Philippines unit SP New Energy Corporation (SPNEC), the company has exceeded 2000 hectares of landbank secured for what it plans to be the “world’s largest solar farm”.

“We expect the updated tally to be reflected in our next quarterly report, from which our public shareholders should have a better appreciation of the assets in SPNEC,” Solar Philippines founder Leandro Leviste said.

“Since our SRO, we have prioritized the execution of the project that we see has the highest value. After we perfect the documentation for these hundreds of parcels and then conversion, this land would be ready for a solar project. Our focus now is to realize the value from this, and we will provide further updates at the appropriate time,” Leviste added.

SPNEC’s SRO prospectus noted that proceeds would be used to acquire land in Nueva Ecija and Bulacan, and that it would seek the use that would give it the highest value. This may include being utilized by projects that SPNEC would own shares in as part of its asset-for-share swap.

One of these projects is Terra Solar Philippines, Inc. (Terra Solar), a joint venture project of Solar Philippines that signed a Power Supply Agreement (PSA) with Meralco on October 24 2022. Under the PSA, Terra Solar would supply 850 MW of mid-merit for around 12 hours per day from a planned 3.5 GW solar, 4.5 GWh battery project in Nueva Ecija and Bulacan.

At over 2000 hectares, the properties secured by Solar Philippines could fit a project that would exceed the capacity of India’s Bhadla Solar Farm, currently the world’s largest solar farm at over 2.2 GW; as well as exceed the capacity of the total grid-connected solar operating in the Philippines according to the Department of Energy’s latest figures as of August 2022.
