00:00In order to ensure a sufficient supply of electricity in the Luzon grid,

00:04President Ferdinand R. Marcos, Jr. led the groundbreaking of the largest

00:10and first solar plant and battery storage facility in the world,

00:15which will be built in Nueva Ecija.

00:17Aside from addressing the need for energy,

00:20it will also open up many jobs for the thousands of Filipinos.

00:25This is the story of Benji Durango.

00:303,500 hectares of land, Nueva Ecija, and Bulacan cross the two provinces.

00:35It will be called M-Terra Solar.

00:37Today, President Ferdinand R. Marcos, Jr. led the groundbreaking of this project.

00:42Now that the time capsule has been sealed,

00:50the President shall lower the time capsule.

00:54In full swing is the 200-million-peso project of Meralco PowerGen Corporation

00:58and Terra Solar Philippines Incorporated.

01:01This is in line with the President's desire to create renewable energy in the country.

01:05Today, we take a leap towards the future,

01:08driven by innovation and sustained by our collective hope

01:12for a cleaner and greener Philippines.

01:15The project will be divided into two phases.

01:17In February 2026, the 2,400-megawatt solar farm will be opened,

01:22and an additional 1,000 megawatts in February 2027.

01:26This landmark project will put our country on the map as a leader in renewable energy.

01:32When it is completed, it can generate 3,500 megawatts from its 5-billion panels.

01:38The Terra Solar project will help stabilize our power supply,

01:43reduce energy costs, and contribute significantly

01:47to our target of 35% renewable energy share

01:51in the power generation mix by the year 2030.

01:55According to the President and CEO of EMGEN, Manuel Rubio,

01:58because the power generation cost will be reduced,

02:00it is also possible for Meralco to lower its cost to its customers.

02:03When it is operated, consumers will feel it.

02:07The full delivery of its capacity is expected to be in February 2027.

02:13But in first phase, it will be delivered in March 2026.

02:17It will also be able to provide 10,000 jobs to Filipinos

02:21while reducing 4.3 million tons of carbon emissions per year.

02:26We are working towards a steady and reliable power supply

02:30that will meet the demands of today and continuously fuel our ambitions for tomorrow.

02:37We will build, we will take action, and we will never stop daring.
