Reservoir
The Background of Our Story
In active response to the Philippines’ energy transition strategy, Black & Veatch, a global leader in energy and infrastructure, has successfully completed the country’s first megawatt-scale floating solar power plant at the Malubog Reservoir in Cebu City. The project, fully equipped with Sungrow FPV’s floating solar system solutions, supplies clean and stable power to the Carmen Copper mining site, contributing to the Philippines’ national target of achieving a 35% renewable energy share by 2030.
Unique Solutions
Located in an area prone to strong winds and extreme weather, the project was engineered with a special anti-wind and wave design based on an ultimate wind speed of 75 m/s, enhancing the system’s impact resistance by 50%. It passed fatigue tests of over one million cycles, far exceeding the industry benchmark of 100,000 cycles. An elastic mooring system effectively absorbs and dissipates wave energy, ensuring long-term stability.
