The Epic Switch-On That Changed Everything
On 22 May 2026, NEA Administrator Antonio Mariano Almeda attended the ceremonial switch-on and inauguration of the 20.774-megawatt peak (MWp) Solar Facility of FDC Green Energy Corp. at the PHIVIDEC Industrial Estate located in Tagoloan, Misamis Oriental. Energy leaders sprang into action that day.
Leading the inauguration of the solar project was Energy Secretary Sharon Garin, who delivered the congratulatory address on behalf of President Ferdinand R. Marcos, Jr. Also present at the event were ERC Chairperson Atty. Francis Saturnino Juan and Energy Undersecretary Mario Marasigan, alongside other industry stakeholders. They celebrated big time as clean power flowed.
Why This Solar Beast Matters Big Time
According to FDC Green, the solar facility is expected to generate about 30.2 million kilowatt-hours of net clean energy annually. Therefore, it helps support the growing power requirements of communities and industries across Mindanao.
Moreover, this project pushes green energy forward fast. Locals and factories now tap reliable sunshine power, so they cut costs and emissions together. What a bold win for the region!
