Levanta Renewables, a Southeast Asia-based renewable energy platform supported by Actis, has secured the development rights for a 166 MWp solar and battery energy storage project in the Visayas region under the Philippines’ Fourth Green Energy Auction (GEA-4). The project, spread across 155 hectares, will feature a 175 MWAC solar installation paired with a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS), representing an estimated investment of PHP5 billion (USD87 million). It aims to enhance grid stability and accelerate the country’s clean energy transition.
Once operational, the facility is expected to displace over 200,000 tons of CO₂ annually and strengthen the Philippines’ energy security by reducing reliance on imported fossil fuels. The project will also contribute to local development by generating employment, increasing tax revenues, and implementing ER 1-94 community programs.
The project supports the Philippines’ target of sourcing 35 per cent of its electricity from renewables by 2030 and contributes to the expansion of solar and storage capacity across the archipelago. It marks another strategic milestone for Levanta Renewables as it continues to scale operations across Southeast Asia.
