ROMBLON Electric Cooperative Inc. (Romelco) has turned to solar energy to sustain energy demand within its franchise area, the National Electrification Administration said. This, as Romelco recently installed its grid-tied solar roof mounted project, a 200-kilowatt (kW) solar photovoltaic system distributed in various villages developed in partnership with local governments of Romblon. The P12-million project is composed of 528 high-efficiency solar panels installed on the rooftops of the four covered courts in Barangays Lunas, Macalas, Mapula and Ilauran. The grid-connected installations are all located in the municipality of Romblon, Romblon. Each distributed solar power plant has a capacity of 50 kW that already generates electricity for consumers.
