Maoneng PH’s Commercial Director Shares Philippine Solar Market 2022 Insights

 

Mr. Ferreras was asked what were the key growth drivers in the Philippines for Solar Energy. According to him the key growth drivers were the rising fuels costs which subsequently affects the electricity rates, the lack of electrification in a great number of households and the fairly young state of the solar sector. Since the solar energy market has not reached its maturity yet, there are still lots of opportunities for growth.

The challenges in this industry was also talked about. Mr. Ferreras said that the 100kw cap for net metering should be remove so more businesses and individuals would  invest in solar energy. Overall Mr. Ferreras is hopeful for the future of the solar energy industry and its players.

The MPTC Group

History

Considered the largest toll road developer and operator in the Philippines – in terms of vehicle traffic volume, revenue levels, asset base – and in terms of combined length of expressways in kilometers.

They are a toll road company with three major long-term concessions in the country – with three new concessions under construction awarded to them. MPTC Group broke barriers and ventured to the fast-growing Visayas region, seen as a beginning to creating and building more toll roads in high-growth areas outside of Luzon. They are the first Philippine tollroad company that now has significant stakes in three major infrastructure companies in three progressive countries in the ASEAN region.

Metro Pacific Tollways Corporation (MPTC).

They are leading other industry players in all financial aspects, with a quarter of a billion dollars in revenues based on the latest 2017 figures. Since 2008, their core income has grown by 400%. They hold three operating long-term concessions in the Philippines – namely: the North Luzon Expressway (NLEX), Subic Clark Tarlac Expressway (SCTEX), and the Cavite Expressway (CAVITEX). They hold three more concessions to build, operate and maintain – namely the Cavite Laguna Expressway (CALAEX), the Cebu Cordova Link Expressway (CCLEX), and the NLEX Connector.

On the average, they handle around one million vehicles per day—and still counting. Thanks to an increasing number of travellers who have been encouraged to make journeys more regularly because of high quality roads from the cities to the countryside, and vice versa.
