Raslag Corp., the Nepomuceno Group’s renewable power arm, has enlisted German experts as technical consultants for its integrated solar facility in Nueva Ecija.
The company has tapped Greencity Energy Philippines Inc. (GCE) as owner’s engineer for its subsidiary, Raslag Liwayway, which is developing a 100-megawatt (MW) solar farm equipped with a battery energy storage component.
GCE and its German-led expert team will serve as a technical partner for 18 months, subject to adjustment by the parties, Raslag said in a regulatory filing yesterday.
As a technical partner, GCE is expected to support project development, design review, procurement, construction, testing and commissioning, as well as operations and maintenance transition.
Located in the municipality of Santa Rosa in Nueva Ecija, the Raslag Liwayway project is set to begin its design phase in the fourth quarter, with completion targeted in the second half of 2027.
Raslag estimates the project’s solar component to cost around P4.8 billion, while the investment required for the battery storage segment has yet to be disclosed.
With GCE on board, Raslag said it is committed to building the solar plant with utmost safety and efficiency, ensuring full compliance with both local and global regulations and industry best practices.
GCE is a consulting and advisory company specializing in renewable energy, especially photovoltaic technologies. Globally, it has served as a developer, owner’s engineer and project manager for over one gigawatt of solar capacity.
Raslag, on the other hand, currently operates four solar assets with a combined capacity of 77.84 MW across Pampanga. It aims to achieve at least 1,000 MW of capacity over the next decade.
