MANILA, Philippines — MRC Allied Inc. is pursuing a solar rooftop project in Mindanao to meet its 100-MW target and become a key player in the country’s solar industry. MRC president and chief executive officer Augusto Cosio Jr. said the company is targeting around 100 MW of solar power projects within the next two years. The company inked a MOA with local firm Edward Marcs Philippines Inc. (EMPI) to power up two rice milling plants in north Luzon using solar power. Under the deal, EMPI will supply, deliver, construct and test a 550-kilowatt-peak (kwp) grid-tied solar PV rooftop project for two rice milling plants located in the Northern Luzon. It is part of the solar PV project pipeline of at least four MW, which MRC hopes to complete in the next two years.
