Pacific Impact Energy Corporation (PIEC) is moving forward with its 61.551 megawatt-peak (MWp) Capantolan Solar Power Project in Sual, Pangasinan, a major renewable energy investment that is set to deliver clean and sustainable power to the Philippine grid.

Once operational, the project will significantly contribute to the country’s renewable energy targets, enhance energy security, and support the transition toward a low-carbon economy. Beyond its environmental benefits, the solar facility is expected to generate substantial socioeconomic gains. At the height of construction, it will employ about 400 workers across engineering, supply, transport, and related fields, while creating long-term operational roles for engineers, operators, and support staff.

“We’re actively developing clean energy projects across Southeast Asia, but the Philippines stands out as one of the most supportive environments for renewable energy investment,” said James Timko, Managing Director of Pacific Impact Development. “This project demonstrates how international capital and local partnerships can accelerate climate-aligned energy solutions and deliver lasting impact to communities.”

The Capantolan project forms part of PIEC’s broader renewable energy portfolio in the country, which also includes the Albay Wind Power Project in Ligao and Guinobatan and the Malasiqui Solar Power Project in Pangasinan. Collectively, these ventures underscore the company’s commitment to expanding clean energy infrastructure and advancing inclusive, sustainable growth in the Philippines.
