Proinso has been appointed as the engineering, procurement and management (EPM) provider for a 100MW solar farm in Subic Bay in the Philippines.
The UK-based company will work in partnership with Asiacrest Marketing Corp on the project, which will also allow Proinso to increase its team in the Philippines to more than 30 people.
UK Trade and Investment in Manila supported Proinso’s entry into the Philippine market.
Proinso regional head for Asia Pacific Stuart Macfarlane said: “The Subic Bay engagement is a complex project demanding a high level of capability support across many disciplines provided via our EPM programme.
“Our EPM model is based on a collaborative approach working with local partners. This way, Proinso is able to deliver world class renewable assets and also invest in the development of a strong local industry.”
Asiacrest Marketing president and chief executive officer Lawrence Plata said: “We are tapping experts from the UK, Spain and Australia to design and execute the project.
“These experts will also engage in a knowledge transfer programme to develop the skills of our young and dynamic team of local engineers.”
