Trinasolar Powers PetroGreen's 25 MWp Bugallon Solar Project in the Philippines

MANILA, Philippines, Sept. 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Trinasolar, a global smart PV and energy storage solutions provider, has supplied 35,350 Vertex N 705W and 710W modules (NEG21C.20) for PetroGreen Energy Corporation's 25 MWp Bugallon Solar Power Plant in Pangasinan, reinforcing its role in supporting utility-scale solar deployment in the Philippines.

Bugallon Solar Power Plant was developed and is operated by Bugallon Green Energy Corporation, a project company under Rizal Green Energy Corporation, the joint venture between PetroGreen and Japan's Taisei Corporation.

The project recently received its certificate of compliance from the Energy Regulatory Commission and commenced commercial operations in the Philippines' Wholesale Electricity Spot Market (WESM) on September 5, 2026. Developed under the Green Energy Auction Program Round 2, the project turns auction-backed capacity into new generation for the Luzon grid. It is expected to generate approximately 51 GWh of electricity annually, offsetting approximately 36,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions each year.

The modules supplied for Bugallon are Trinasolar's n-type i-TOPCon Vertex N 705W and 710W bifacial dual-glass modules. The modules' power temperature coefficient of −0.29% per degree Celsius and resistance to high-temperature and high-humidity environments support long-term performance in the Philippines' tropical operating conditions.

The project extends the partnership between Trinasolar and PetroGreen that dates back to 2015. Previous utility-scale solar projects include the 20 MWp Tarlac-2 project, the 27 MWp Dagohoy project in Bohol, and the 40 MWp Limbauan project in Isabela.

Maria Victoria M. Olivar, Senior Vice President for Business Development and Commercial Operations at PetroGreen Energy Corporation, said, "Each project has strengthened how PetroGreen and Trinasolar work together. From Dagohoy and Limbauan to Bugallon, Trinasolar has supported us with the latest module technology, dependable supply, and the continuity needed to advance a growing portfolio. That consistency matters as PetroGreen brings more utility-scale solar capacity into operation across the Philippines."

Elva Wang, Group Director for Southeast Asia at Trinasolar, said, "Since Trinasolar entered the Philippines in 2013, Trinasolar has grown with the market and with longstanding partners like PetroGreen. The Bugallon Solar Power Plant marks another significant step towards achieving the Philippines' target of 35% renewable energy share in its power-generation mix by 2030. We are grateful to be part of this progress alongside invaluable partners like PetroGreen as we continue to deliver the latest solar and energy storage solutions to support the country's evolving energy needs."
