Mace Consult is working with Prime Infra to deliver two of Asia’s largest pumped storage facilities: the 1,400-megawatt Pakil and 600-megawatt Wawa hydroelectric plants. Both certified by the Philippine Government’s Department of Energy as ‘Energy Projects of National Significance’, these landmark developments represent a USD7.6 billion investment in the nation’s energy future and directly support the Philippines’ ambition to achieve 50% renewable energy by 2040.
These projects represent a defining step in the Philippines’ energy transition, securing independence, accelerating decarbonisation, and delivering cleaner, more resilient power that will shape the nation’s future for generations.
Mace Consult’s Programme Management Office (PMO) commission provides the governance, oversight, and discipline required to deliver projects of this scale. Our PMO translates complex data into actionable insights, maintains a fully integrated master schedule, and embeds quantitative risk analysis to safeguard delivery. By driving accountable risk ownership and transferring knowledge to Prime Infra’s permanent team, we are ensuring long-term capability and resilience.
The national benefits are profound. Once operational by 2030, these facilities will supply clean electricity to more than 3.2 million households and displace around 4.4 million tonnes of coal every year. By integrating renewable sources such as wind and solar through large-scale energy storage, the plants will stabilise the national grid and provide reliable power during peak demand. Beyond energy, the programme advances environmental stewardship through watershed rehabilitation, reforestation, and community-led conservation initiatives.
Mace Consult brings certainty to the world’s most impactful infrastructure and capital programmes. Together with Prime Infra, we are bolstering Asia’s energy capability to build resilience in its communities.
