Nexif Ratch Energy (NRE) has announced its Calabanga Solar Project (CARE), located in the Philippines, has successfully reached commercial operation.
This milestone followed the completion of a rigorous testing and commissioning process conducted by the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines.
