2. Promote and encourage the development and utilization of efficient renewable energy technologies and systems to ensure optimal use and sustainability of the country's energy resources;
3. Reinforce related laws and other statutory provisions for a comprehensive approach to energy efficiency, conservation, sufficiency, and sustainability in the country; and
4. Ensure a market-driven approach to energy efficiency, conservation, sufficiency, and sustainability in the country.
200kWp House of Representatives Solar Rooftop
The 200-kWp Solar PV Rooftop Project of the House of Representatives aims to support calls for cleaner and more efficient sources of energy. The project was implemented in partnership with PNOC Renewables Corporation, where in PNOC RC provided technical services such as preparation of technical study and assisting in bidding activities for the House of Representatives. Overall, 436 Solar PV Modules were installed at the South Wing Annex building of House of Representatives.
The construction works for the project commenced February of 2022, and it was inaugurated by May 18, 2022.The solar PV facility is expected to generate up to 265,200 kWh per year which is also equivalent to 115 metric tons to Carbon Dioxide (CO2) avoided.
1MW Rizal Hydro Power Plant
The Rizal PRIS MC Hydropwer Project is located in Barangay Poblacion West, Rizal, Nueva, Ecija.
PNOC RC collaborated with the National Irrigation Administration (NIA) to harness hydropower from the irrigation systems. A Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) was signed last November 7, 2012 for the development of the initial 6 sites. In February 2014, PNOC Renewables Corporation secured a service contract for the Rizal Project.
With a potential installed capacity of 1,000kW and potential annual generation of 4.64 GWh, the project was completed and officially inaugurated last December 9, 2015.
32MW Maibarara Geothermal Plant
The Maibarara project is an integrated power facility comprising steamfield power station and transmission line. MGI’s power plant is linked by a 5-km ling 115kV transmission line to the Luzon grid through the Meralco distribution system.
The facility was synchronized to the Luzon Grid on November 4, 2013 in coordination with Meralco and NGCP and it started its commercial operation on February 8, 2014. The project has recently expanded to another 12MW and was commissioned last April 2018.
The project owner and operator, Maibarara Geothermal Inc. (MGI) is a joint-venture company owned by PetroGreen Energy Corp. (PGEC), with a 65% stake, TransAsia Oil & Energy Development Corp. (TAO), which owns a 25% stake, and PNOC Renewables Corp (PNOC RC) with a 10% stake in the project.
100kWp Philippine Heart Center Solar Rooftop
The Philippine Heart Center hospital proper is a 354-bed tertiary care center. There are twenty-one nursing units, including the 53 Intensive Care Unit (ICU) beds, 24 suites, 56 private rooms, 3 adult presidential suite, 74 semi-private rooms, 3 adult service wards and a pediatric service ward.

Philippine Public Safety College (PPSC) LED Installation
As mandated by the Republic Act 6975 of the DILG Act of 1990, the PPSC is the premier educational institution for the training, human resource development and continuing education of all personnel of the Philippine National Police (PNP), the Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP) and the Bureau of Jail and Management and Penology (BJMP). The agency has a strong commitment to excellence, having acquired its ISO 9001:2008.
With several administrative orders enjoining government institutions to adopt energy-saving measures, the institution intends to pursue compliance with this directive by installing energy efficient technologies. PNOC RC, as a DOE-accredited Energy Service Company (ESCO) took the opportunity to partner with PPSC and provide technical assistance and financing for the installation of energy efficient lighting system.
In March 2016, a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) was signed by PPSC and PNOC RC for the Energy Efficient Lighting Project. The 5-year partnership involves the replacement of the three-thousand seven hundred twenty five (3,725) bulbs of traditional fluorescent and CFL lighting fixtures in the PPSC training camps, the Philippine National Police Academy (PNPA) and National Police College (NPC) Buildings. Energy-efficient LEDs were used, which are expected to reduce energy consumption from lights by up to fifty percent. Under the said agreement, PNOC RC shall finance, install and maintain the lighting fixtures without an upfront cost to the PPSC. Investment costs shall be recouped based on a revenue-sharing scheme from calculated monthly savings.
400kWp Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas Security Plant Complex Solar Rooftop
The 400kWp solar facility at the BSP Security Plant Complex (BSP SPC) in Quezon City is the largest among all the installation of PNOC RC on government buildings. This brings the total capacity of PNOC RC for its solar rooftop projects in government agencies at 1.42MW.
The event was attended by Governor Armando M. Tetangco Jr., members of the BSP’s Monetary Board and other executives of BSP. PNOC RC was represented by its Vice President for Operations, Engr. Pete L. Lite and OIC-Vice President for Corporate Services, Atty. Josephine Cassandra Cui.
