Clark airport to use solar power system

March 14, 2011
CLARK FREEPORT — The Clark International Airport Corporation (CIAC) has tied up with a renewable energy company for the usage of solar power inside the Diosdado Macapagal International Airport (DMIA).
This is part of CIAC’s industry-defining project that will make DMIA as the country’s premiere international gateway airport and a competitive services and logistics hub in the Asia-Pacific Region.
CIAC and the Energy Logics Group (ELG) signed on Friday a memorandum of agreement (MOA) for the conduct of engineering and feasibility studies on Renewable Energy Systems within the properties of the 2,367-hectare Clark Civil Aviation Complex.
CIAC president and CEO Victor Jose I. Luciano and ELG president and CEO Marco Prieto Delgado signed the agreement that will pave the way for the establishment of Renewable Energy Systems within the aviation complex.
Luciano said that “the project would be beneficial to the development of the Diosdado Macapagal International Airport (DMIA) since it is being geared as the country’s premier international gateway.”
Led by Delgado, ELG is one of the pioneers in renewable energy in the country and a staunch proponent of President Aquino’s directive to create a long-term roadmap to harness renewable energy sources towards the Philippines’ energy independence and security.
ELG is registered by the Department of Energy (DOE) under the Renewable Energy Act of 2009. It has significant interests in wind, solar, hydro, bio-fuels, and biomass in the Philippines, Guam, Canada, and Latin America and is a member of the Transnational Diversified Group, a privately-held conglomerate with 30 operating companies in shipping, ship management, logistics, business process outsourcing, air and travel and energy and has a workforce of 14,000.
ELG currently has the largest combined wind-solar pipeline in the Philippines, with a minimum of 420-MW in wind and 250-MW in solar.
It is set to ground-break the USD$ 300 Million 120-MW Pasuquin East Project in Ilocos Norte on the 3rd quarter of 2011. Total investments in energy infrastructure for the next ten years is at least US$ 1.23 Billion.
ELG is driven by its commitment of delivering a strong corporate social responsibility program for its host communities.
A portion of its revenue shall be used to develop missionary electrification, education, job generation and entrepreneurship, environment and community building.
The CIAC project, upon the initiative of Luciano, integrates renewable energy and energy efficiency systems within the airport facilities and is in line with the DOE’s thrust towards developing distributed generation of clean energy as directed by DOE Secretary Jose Rene D. Almendras.
Buildings under the jurisdiction of the CIAC are expected to be more efficient and sustainable, and will make CIAC a model of carbon footprint reduction.
The flagship projects will be solar generation facilities on rooftops of existing and future terminals and hangars, initially envisaged to generate an estimated 1,200 megawatt hours per year.
Given the approval of the Board of Directors of CIAC, ELG shall immediately begin feasibility studies and development of various sites within the CIAC area.
