Cavite Emerges as Major Renewable Energy Hub with Major Solar, Wind Projects

The province of Cavite is rapidly establishing itself as a major player in the Philippines’ shift to renewable energy, with large-scale solar and wind power projects underway in multiple locations.

Prime Solar Solutions Corp. recently inaugurated a 64-megawatt (MW) solar power plant in Maragondon, part of a larger 128-MW pilot project that includes a second site in Tanauan, Batangas.

The facility is expected to supply electricity to roughly 84,000 households and offset over 100,000 tons of coal annually, according to company officials.

In Dasmariñas, Taiwan-based sanitary ware manufacturer Hocheng Philippines Corp. (HCG) is constructing a 660-kilowatt (kW) solar facility on its 10-hectare property.

The project is a continuation of HCG’s partnership with First Gen, which began in 2020 under the Retail Competition and Open Access (RCOA) program. The initiative underscores Cavite’s appeal to environmentally focused industrial investors.

Meanwhile, Meralco subsidiary MSpectrum has completed the installation of a solar rooftop system for General Trias Water Corp. (GTWC). The P2.5-million system is expected to generate about 45,350 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of renewable energy annually, supporting GTWC’s water pumping operations.

GTWC has been providing water services in General Trias, Naic, Alfonso, and parts of nearby provinces since 1995. The project marks the first collaboration between GTWC and Meralco, signaling a new era of sustainable practices for public utilities in the province.

Cavite is also set to tap into wind energy. Maragondon Wind Energy Corp. (MWEC) plans to build a P10.58-billion, 200-MW onshore wind project spanning 4,941 hectares across seven barangays.

The facility, which will include up to 36 wind turbines, is scheduled to begin construction in 2026 and start commercial operations by December 2028. The project will be developed in two 100-MW phases and connected to the Luzon power grid via substations.

Provincial officials said the expansion of renewable energy infrastructure is the result of close coordination between the local government, private sector, and community stakeholders.

These developments are positioning Cavite as a key contributor to the Philippines’ energy transition and its long-term climate goals.
