The first entry is always the pin's source. Overall confidence is a weighted average of how firmly each reference supports the start and end times used above; a reference counts half as much for every 180 days older than the newest.
Published target: Phase 2 in 2027. Construction is documented, but this future completion/operation milestone is estimated. The date is a year/month-end timeline marker and is not a confirmed exact opening day. Source: https://www.meralcopowergen[2][3][4].com.ph/mterra-solar-becomes-largest-solar-pv-installation-in-ph/
MGEN’s July 8, 2025 project update identifies Phase 1 completion in early 2026 and Phase 2 targeted the following year, 2027. Its September 2026 release separately confirms Phase 1 commercial operation; the whole complex is not described as already fully operating.[1]
MGEN’s November 2024 groundbreaking release identifies investment above PHP200 billion for 3,500 MWp PV with 4,500 MWh battery storage and related interconnection. This is a published approximate lower-bound project investment, not an enterprise valuation. Generation excludes battery MW/MWh. MTerra Solar and battery complex: 3500 MW generating project rating. Full complex design: 3,500 MWp DC solar; Phase 1 contracted firm supply 600 MW AC, not additive[1]
MGEN September 3, 2026 confirms Phase 1 commercial operation for 600 MWac mid-merit supply under its PPA. The entire built complex is still being completed; full 3,500 MWp must not be called currently commercially operating.[1]
Something missing or wrong? Say it in your own words: a link that backs this pin up, a different start or end date and why, or a fact it lacks or gets wrong. The AI checks it against this pin's sources, searches for better ones, and adds any page that backs you up. The pin's own sources still count most. A picture that shows something else, or shows it badly, is looked at too, and moved down or replaced.

Retained only with documented physical construction, commissioning or 2025–2026 opening and published project-specific costs and electrical output. Costs use the published scope and currency; no benchmark estimates or currency conversions. MW is power capacity, not annual electricity production. Expected annual energy, where given, is a forecast. The map point is a reported plant/project location and may be approximate. Matching inventory views and excluded expansion proposals are not additive capacity.
