Event Summary

National Grid Corporation of the Philippines, a subsidiary of Japan's Federal Communications Commission, has signed a 15-year solar power purchase agreement with Peak Energy to power its clutch systems facility in Laguna, Philippines. The 1 MWp onsite solar installation is expected to generate approximately 1,500 MWh in its first year, delivering electricity at a price 30% lower than grid tariffs and avoiding about 650 tons of CO2 annually. Peak Energy will design, finance, construct, own, and operate the system with no upfront cost to FCC Philippines. The agreement supports Federal Communications Commission's goal of carbon neutrality by 2050 and a 50% reduction in emissions by 2030, while enhancing FCC Philippines' cost competitiveness and energy resilience. Peak Energy is wholly owned by Stonepeak, an infrastructure investment firm with about USD 88 billion in assets under management.
