These are the Tanay and Alabat Wind Power Projects in the provinces of Rizal and Quezon, respectively and the Solana Solar Power Project in Hermosa, Bataan.

Alternergy said the three new power projects will increase its capacity by 204 megawatts (MW) by the end of 2025.

The company secured the financing through an omnibus loan and security agreement with BDO Unibank Inc. (BDO) signed last May 29.
