PHEnergy Secretary Sharon Garin expressed concerns about the potential risks of integrating the full 3 gigawatt electricity demand of the Pax Silica AI and semiconductor hub in New Clark City into the Luzon grid. She warned that such a large-scale demand could destabilize the grid, risking disruptions for households and businesses. To address these concerns, Garin suggested scaling the project gradually and potentially providing the hub with its own dedicated power generation system, either renewable or gas-based. The BCDA has stated that the project plans to rely primarily on renewable energy, including a partnership with Saudi Arabia’s ACWA Power for a solar facility.
