Recently, Phase I of the MTerra Solar Project in the Philippines, the world’s largest single‑site solar‑plus‑storage facility, has been officially connected to the grid and put into operation, marking a major milestone in the development of this world‑class new energy project.

  Jiangsu Milky way Steel Pole Co., Ltd. is responsible for the full scope of design, manufacturing and supply of all steel structural frameworks for the project. Leveraging smart manufacturing capabilities and superior product quality, the company has laid a solid steel‑structure foundation for this mega solar‑battery power station.

Developed by an entity under Meralco and located on Luzon Island in the Philippines, the MTerra Solar Project features a planned total capacity of 3.5 GWp of solar PV coupled with a large‑scale 4.5 GWh energy storage system, with a total investment of approximately 4 billion US dollars.

Situated in a tropical monsoon zone with year‑round high temperature and humidity and frequent typhoons, the project imposes stringent requirements on the PV support steel structures in terms of anti‑corrosion performance, structural strength, wind‑resistance and mass delivery capacity. Faced with multiple challenges including the project’s enormous scale, overseas technical codes and tight delivery schedules, the project team of Jiangsu Milky way Steel Pole got involved at an early stage. The team completed customized design, load verification and process optimization for the full set of steel structural frameworks, fully adapting to local complex operating conditions featuring typhoons and heavy rainfall with high humidity.

Supported by the company’s smart manufacturing production lines and in strict compliance with overseas engineering quality control systems, closed‑loop management covers the whole workflow from raw material incoming inspection, processing and manufacturing, hot‑dip galvanizing anti‑corrosion treatment through to finished‑product testing. This ensures high‑precision, high‑quality output of massive volumes of steel components. All products were manufactured and delivered on schedule, providing solid support for on‑site erection and installation.

From drawing development and structural design to smart manufacturing and complete‑set supply, Jiangsu Milky way Steel Pole has been deeply engaged throughout the construction of the MTerra Solar Project. Its reliable steel‑structure products underpin this world‑class solar‑plus‑storage power station, fully demonstrating the company’s comprehensive service capabilities for large‑scale overseas new‑energy projects.

Delivering solutions for this global benchmark solar‑storage project represents a key milestone for Jiangsu Milky way Steel Pole in its in‑depth expansion into overseas new‑energy markets, and stands as another outstanding achievement of Chinese power‑equipment enterprises going global.

Moving forward, Jiangsu Milky way Steel Pole will keep focusing on global new‑energy infrastructure demands. Adhering to technological innovation and quality‑oriented principles, the company will continuously refine its steel‑structure products and integrated solutions. It will further explore overseas markets across Southeast Asia, Africa, Latin America and beyond. With robust “Made‑in‑China” strengths, Milky way will advance global energy transition and contribute its share to building a greener, low‑carbon world.
