A Major Solar Project Clears Evaluation
BOHOL - The Provincial Government of Bohol, through the Bohol Investment Board-Evaluation Committee, evaluated the proposed project of Bohol Solar Energy Inc. during its October 20 meeting at Juanito Cambangay Hall in the New Provincial Capitol. With a rated capacity of 44.993 MWdc and 37.884 MWac, the proposed facility would be located in Sikatuna. Its 91.214% evaluation score surpassed the required threshold, leading the committee to approve a motion endorsing the project for registration and corresponding incentives under BEDIC.
More Than Panels and Power
Once completed, the solar plant is expected to become the largest solar power project in Bohol, bringing renewable energy generation together with potential economic benefits. A project of this scale can create opportunities during development and operations while supporting activity in its host community. Its clean-energy focus also aligns with broader efforts to reduce dependence on more carbon-intensive power sources and strengthen the province’s response to climate challenges. For Bohol, the project represents an opportunity to connect investment with environmental goals.
Sikatuna Could Help Shape Bohol’s Energy Future
The endorsement reflects the province’s efforts to attract strategic investments while encouraging sustainable development. Renewable energy projects can become an important part of a growing economy when they are developed responsibly and alongside the needs of host communities. If the proposed Sikatuna Solar Power Plant moves through the remaining stages toward completion, its impact could reach far beyond the solar panels themselves—from cleaner energy production to new economic opportunities and a stronger foundation for Bohol’s long-term resilience.
