FDC Green Energy Corp. (FDC Green), a wholly owned subsidiary of Filinvest Group’s utility arm, FDC Utilities, Inc. (FDCUI), has secured a Certificate of Compliance (COC) from the Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) for its 20.774-megawatt peak (MWp) ground‑mounted solar facility located in the PHIVIDEC Industrial Estate, Tagoloan, Misamis Oriental, signaling its readiness to operate and deliver power to the grid. 

FDC Green’s project is estimated to generate about 30.2 million kilowatt-hours of net clean energy annually.  The issuance of the COC affirms that the facility has met all technical, safety, and regulatory requirements prescribed by the ERC, enabling it to commence commercial operations. 

“The Certificate of Compliance from the ERC marks a critical step in bringing this project online,” said Juan Eugenio L. Roxas, President and CEO of FDCUI and subsidiaries, including FDC Green. “This reflects our commitment to technical and regulatory standards while emphasizing our focus on developing efficient energy systems that promote economic growth and sustainability.” 

The facility is poised to contribute additional capacity to the Mindanao grid upon its commercial operations. This comes at a time when energy security has taken center stage amid the ongoing energy crisis resulting from the conflict between the United States, Israel, and Iran. 

“The ongoing energy crisis has underscored the need for reliable and sustainable power solutions,” commented Roxas. He further emphasized, “In an environment where global fuel markets are increasingly unpredictable, projects like this highlight the importance of investing in indigenous and renewable energy sources.”  

The FDC Green Misamis Solar Power Project is a crucial component of the Filinvest Group’s long-term energy plans. This paves the way for future initiatives embodying the company’s drive to expanding its renewable energy portfolio and delivering solutions that create shared value for all stakeholders.
