UGE International (UGE) has signed nine new commercial solar projects in the Philippines totalling 3 MW in rated capacity.

Across all nine projects, clients can save upwards of 30 per cent on their energy bills.

The company expects the projects to be operational by the end of 2022. They are distributed across the country as follows:

Cebu

Luzon

Mindanao

Sebastian Thomas, UGE Philippines’ Director of Development, commented,

“I am enthusiastic about the growth we are experiencing in the Philippines this year. Given the significant savings solar offers our clients, the time is ripe for businesses in the Philippines to adopt solar energy. We have added several talented members to our business development team over the last six months, which helped drive 60 per cent backlog growth so far this quarter. We expect our momentum to continue through the remainder of the year.”

As of March 31, 2021, UGE Philippines’ 5.1 MW backlog represented 7 per cent of UGE’s overall backlog, which is within the 5-15 per cent range the company expects going forward.

UGE develops, owns and operates commercial and community solar projects in the U.S. and strategic markets abroad.

UGE International (UGE) is up by 10.98 per cent and is currently trading at $1.92 per share as of 12:31 pm ET.
