Our conversation also explores CREC’s landmark achievement—the energization of Citicore Solar Batangas 1, a 197 MW solar plant paired with a 320 MWh battery system, which is now delivering baseload-capable solar power on the national grid, a first in the country.

We explore what this milestone means in practice, CREC's multi-gigawatt targets across regions, and how the team is structuring financing while navigating a fast-moving market.
