Recently, all steel structures manufactured and supplied by Jiangsu Milky Way Steel Pole Co., Ltd. for the Maragondon Solar Power Plant Substation project in the Philippines have been fully delivered, supporting stable grid-connection operation of this new-energy facility. This marks another milestone for the company in the Southeast-Asian new-energy power market.

Located in Maragondon, Cavite, Luzon, Philippines, the Maragondon Solar Power Plant features a total DC capacity of 64 MWp. It is equipped with a 60 MVA dedicated 115 kV step-up substation together with a 20km transmission line, connecting to the local Meralco power grid and delivering clean solar power for Cavite and surrounding regions, playing a key role in local energy-structure transition. Jiangsu Milky Way Steel Pole undertook design, manufacturing and supply of full-scope substation steel structures including gantries, bus-bar frameworks and equipment supports, laying a solid structural foundation for safe and reliable substation operation.

The Philippines features tropical monsoon climate with high temperature, high humidity, salt-spray corrosion and frequent typhoons, imposing strict requirements on wind-resistance, hot-dip-galvanizing anti-corrosion and dimensional accuracy of substation steelwork. Tailored for local site conditions, Milky Way’s technical team carried out customized design complying with local meteorological data and power-grid specifications. Supported by intelligent production lines and BIM digital modeling, full-process quality control covering cutting, welding, assembly and hot-dip galvanizing was implemented. All components passed complete factory inspections and one-shot third-party international acceptance to meet strict overseas engineering standards.

Faced with tight schedule, cross-border logistics and complex technical coordination, the project team coordinated technical clarification, production scheduling, factory inspection and sea-shipping. Strict delivery milestones were fulfilled and products arrived at site on schedule, winning high recognition from overseas owner and EPC contractor.

As a key overseas new-energy project, the Maragondon solar plant delivers large-volume green power upon commissioning and cuts local carbon emissions, serving the Philippines renewable-energy roadmap. With rich experience in overseas power-steel-structure projects, Jiangsu Milky Way Steel Pole exports Chinese-manufactured power equipment. Its products are widely applied in power-transmission and renewable-energy projects across Philippines, Pakistan, Cambodia and other countries, expanding market presence along the Belt and Road.

Going forward, Jiangsu Milky Way Steel Pole will keep improving technical competence. Focusing on overseas new-energy and power-transmission demands, the company provides integrated solutions covering customized design, smart manufacturing and technical after-sales support, and keeps contributing Chinese strength to global power-infrastructure construction.
