In 2023, it built the largest rooftop solar array in the Philippines to date.
“Developing infrastructure is an urgent task so we can meet the Department of Energy’s ambitious targets of 35% renewable energy by 2030 and 50% by 2040 – and accelerated financing is essential to seize the current opportunity,” said Ruth Yu Owen, President. and CEO of UGEP.
