Levanta Breaks Ground on 166 MWp Solar and 80 MWh BESS Project in the Philippines
Levanta Renewables, backed by Actis, has broken ground on the Barotac Solar Power and Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) Project in the Visayas, Philippines. The project combines a 166 MWp ground-mounted solar PV plant with an 80 MWh BESS, covering approximately 155 hectares. Developed under the Philippines’ Green Energy Auction Program Round 4 (GEA-4), the project represents an estimated investment of PHP 5 billion and is expected to avoid more than 200,000 tonnes of CO₂ emissions annually. Commercial operations are targeted for mid-2027. Pramod Singh, CEO of Levanta Renewables, said the project demonstrates the company’s commitment to accelerating Southeast Asia’s energy transition, while Pankaj Sakhuja, Chief Investment Officer, highlighted the importance of battery storage for grid stability and energy security.
