BCDA, TOTALPower to explore scalable energy solutions
The Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA) and the TOTALPower Inc. are currently exploring scalable energy solutions that can support the increasing power requirements of present and future locators that will accelerate the growth of New Clark City and other economic zones.
The partnership was solidified during the signing of a memorandum of understanding (MOU) between BCDA President and Chief Executive Officer Joshua M. Bingcang and TOTALPower Inc. Chairperson Juanito C. Tan Jr. on 8 October 2026.
The MOU aims to conduct of preliminary technical discussions, feasibility studies, and other exploratory activities concerning potential energy infrastructure projects within BCDA-administered properties.
Among the proposed projects of TOTALPower is an embedded liquefied natural gas (LNG) engine power plant within New Clark City, with an initial installed capacity of 70.8 megawatts, expandable depending on the projected power requirements of New Clark City and its locators.
“As New Clark City and our other economic zones attract more investments and new industries, we need to ensure that reliable power supply can keep pace with their growth. We are exploring energy solutions that can meet these requirements while allowing us to expand capacity as demand increases. This is important in supporting our locators, encouraging more investments, and creating jobs for Filipinos,” said Bingcang.
Scalable, embedded energy infrastructure within BCDA-administered properties can help ensure a reliable and cost-efficient power supply for expanding industries and mixed-use developments. These efforts will also support the growth of the broader Luzon Economic Corridor by helping attract investments, strengthen industrial activity, and generate more employment opportunities.
“Our technical collaboration with the BCDA marks a critical milestone in securing the energy future of New Clark City. TOTALPower is committed to deploying advanced, scalable hybrid technologies that combine the efficiency of dual-fuel reciprocating engines with the rapid response of battery backups,” Tan said.
“By ensuring a reliable, world-class power infrastructure, we are not just supplying energy—we are powering the long-term competitiveness of the Luzon Economic Corridor, protecting high-value industrial operations, and fueling sustainable economic growth for the country.”
The BCDA and TOTALPower partnership also aligns with the Marcos Jr. administration’s efforts to strengthen the country’s energy sufficiency and resilience by exploring solutions that can help meet the growing power requirements of key economic and industrial hubs.
