The world will only be able to avoid climate catastrophe with the rapid expansion of renewable energies, and major countries are also involved. In fact, records are broken from time to time in terms of installed capacity and the size of photovoltaic and wind power plants. Close construction of what will happen now “The world’s largest solar energy project””, in the Philippine Islands.
Excavation work has already begun on the island of Luzon to create a mega photovoltaic park that will be ready within two years and will include 5 million solar panels. Terra Solar has a design that will be referred to as the name of the installation. 3,400-3,500 MW solar panel and 4,000 Mwh battery storageAs reported in various American media, quoted from the Xataka portal.
Apparently the investment will be around 3.3 billion euros and it is stated that it can produce more than the total of the complex. 5 billion kilowatt hours per yearTruly extraordinary figures that give an idea of the magnitude of the work.
The company behind all this is Solar Philippine New Energy Corporation (SPNEC), whose project will meet a significant portion of the country’s energy demand at once: un 5% of the total volume of the electricity grid and 12% of demand. This park will surpass in size and power the largest parks currently existing in the world, such as Bhadla in India or Golmund in China.
The surface area that Terra Solar will cover is also quite impressive: 3,500 hectares It is in a forest area located in the Nueva Ecija and Bulacan regions of central Luzon. Spain’s largest photovoltaic facility is 1,300 hectares (less than half) and Francisco Pizarro, in the province of Cáceres, with 1.6 million solar panel modules. Although very large, it is small compared to what is being built in the Philippines.
Creating such solar macrocomplexes helps stop greenhouse gas emissions released into the atmosphere and causing global warming. In fact, renewable energies are responsible for: These emissions will be reduced by 8% in Europe by 2023and just over 7% in Spain.
However, the other side of the coin is their impact on biodiversity, because according to experts, by occupying such lands, wild fauna and flora, which are necessary for the balance of ecosystems (on which human health depends), are deeply affected.
