- Strengthening the Philippines’ Energy Security with the World’s Largest Integrated Solar and Battery Facility
Nueva Ecija, Philippines, 14 July 2026: Meralco PowerGen Corporation (MGEN), together with its partners, today inaugurated MTerra Solar Phase 1, marking the completion of the first phase of what is set to become one of the world’s largest integrated solar photovoltaic (PV) and battery energy storage systems (BESS).
The milestone underscores the Philippines’ growing leadership in large-scale renewable energy development while reinforcing the country’s path toward a more secure, affordable, and sustainable energy future.
During the inauguration, President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. emphasized the country’s ability to execute renewable energy projects of significant scale: “the MTerra Solar project is proof that the Philippines is capable not only of envisioning, but also of delivering.”
MGEN Chairman Manuel V. Pangilinan shared his vision for a future where clean, reliable energy is within reach of every Filipino. “What we inaugurate today will be the world’s largest integrated solar and battery storage facility located in a single site. And it rises not in Texas, not in the Gobi Desert, but right here in Gapan, Nueva Ecija. This inauguration today was made possible not only by Meralco but by many other hands, other minds, and many hearts,” Chairman Manuel V. Pangilinan exclaimed.
