Aboitiz Upgrade Solar, Alphaland champion sustainable tourism in Balesin Island
The Philippine Star
|September 27, 2025
Aboitiz Upgrade Solar Inc. (AUSI), the joint venture between Aboitiz Power Distributed Renewables, Inc. and Upgrade Energy Philippines (UGEP), has partnered with Alphaland Corporation's Balesin Island on the launch of a new three-hectare ground-mounted solar farm.
-
Once completed, the 4.1 megawatt peak ground-mounted solar photovoltaic (PV) system, paired with a 5.5 megawatt hour battery energy storage, will supply approximately 60% of Balesin's total energy demand, saving an estimated 1.6 million liters of diesel annually.
"Renewable energy is not only for cities or industrial zones; it has a place even in the most exclusive and remote destinations" said AUSI Director and AdventEnergy President James Yu. "I hope this project opens more doors to scaling renewable solutions across the country, reaching secluded locations like Balesin."
