Manila Bulletin

January 19, 2026

Citicore Renewable Energy Corp. (CREC) plans to accelerate its solar power rollout, aiming to commission two gigawatts of new capacity by 2026, a move that would triple its existing portfolio and bring the developer closer to its long-term output targets.

CREC President and CEO Oliver Tan told reporters that the company expects to energize several projects awarded under the government’s second Green Energy Auction program during the first quarter of next year.

Those initial projects are nearing completion, with the company currently working on connection points with the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP), Tan said.
