Scatec JV in the Philippines awarded 68 MW floating solar project
Oslo/Manila, 6 November 2025: Scatec, a leading renewable energy solutions
provider, and its joint venture partner Aboitiz Renewables, have been awarded a
20-year Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) for a 68 MW floating solar project in the
Philippines under the Department of Energy's Green Energy Auction Program 4 (GEA
4). The project will be developed through SN Aboitiz Power (SNAP), the
companies' joint venture in the Philippines where Scatec owns 50%.
The floating solar plant will be located on the Magat reservoir in the Isabela
province, where SNAP already operates a 388 MW impoundment hydropower facility,
an 8.5 MW run-of-river hydropower facility, and a 24 MW battery storage system
(BESS). The project demonstrates the scalability of hybrid renewable energy
solutions by combining solar power with existing hydropower infrastructure.
"This award further strengthens our platform in the Philippines and underlines
our ability to scale innovative, hybrid renewable energy solutions. Floating
solar on hydropower reservoirs is a smart way to add clean capacity with minimal
land use and strong grid integration," says Terje Pilskog, CEO of Scatec.
The Magat floating solar project will contribute to the Philippines' renewable
energy targets of reaching 35% renewable energy share by 2030 and 50% by 2040.
It will also support Scatec's strategic ambition to grow its solar and storage
portfolio in the country, where SNAP currently has 56MW of BESS under
construction and another 80MW in backlog.
The project is expected to reach financial close and start construction in 2026
and Commercial Operations Date (COD) in 2027. The project will be constructed
based on proven technology for the floating installation with long track record
in the Southeast Asia region. Additional details on capex and financing will be
provided at financial close.
