Mindanao Goes Solar: Powering NorMin’s Renewable Future

SOLAR stakeholders from across Northern Mindanao convened at the activity center of Ayala Centrio Mall in Cagayan de Oro City for the four-day solar expo, marking a milestone in the region’s journey toward sustainable energy.

Held on June 5 to 8, 2025, Mindanao Goes Solar, a movement to rally solar stakeholders around the common goal of an energy transition in Mindanao through solar technology, kicked off the expo with a series of compelling learning sessions and discussions designed to educate and empower attendees.

Experts shared insights on the latest solar technologies and policy frameworks, as well as solar power for agricultural irrigation and the ecological benefits in switching to solar energy.

“The public hindi nila alam that even if malaki ang initial investment mo, but the lifetime savings that you will get is going to go towards something much better for your life also,” Helen Grace Uy, co-founder of Mindanao Goes Solar, said.

“You also have the peace of mind that you are helping our world to be better,” she added.

Among the stakeholders and exhibitors participating in the four-day expo include: D’Kuryente, Ever Exceed Philippines, Gintong Tubig, GM Solar, Greenergy, IFarms, Kagayan Solar, Solar Up, Solarhub, Spark Solar, Ulric Solar, among others.
