Under the contract, Conergy will plan, engineer, supply and construct two solar power plants with a capacity of 13MW and 9MW respectively with completion set for the first six months of 2014.

Once complete, the plants will feature 88,300 Conergy P-Series modules and will generate around 35,000MWh per year, which is enough to power around 13,000 households.

Conergy in Asia and North America chief sales officer Marc Lohoff said the contract, which is the company’s first order from the Philippines, opens up another attractive and emerging growth market in Asia, adding to its presence in Thailand.

"With this order, we will build the first and especially the largest power plant on the entire archipelago. Conergy is already today a market leader in the Asia Pacific region.

"Together with our strategic investor Kawa, we have the necessary funding to efficiently implement our very promising project pipeline.

"The entry in the Philippine market was an important first step and we are currently working on very interesting large-scale projects in other solar growth markets, in the region as well as in North America," added Lohoff.
