Your call. Will it be built?

Build odds is ArusGrid's reading of the public record, not a forecast, a rating or advice. It counts the gates this project has passed in public sources. Private progress does not show, a passed gate can be undone, and projects that pass every gate still stop. The method has not yet been tested against outcomes. How it works.

How Philippines approves, powers and taxes data centers is on Data center rules in Philippines.

Renewable power dealCiticore Renewable Energy Corporation (CREC) · 100 MW · Dec 2024 Reported source ↗

Up to 100MWac of baseload and 24/7 renewable power under a strategic MoU, to be done through a PPA. · This is an MoU, not a signed PPA. The sources say a green data centre in the Philippines and do not name the site. Evolution's only stated Philippine project is this Cavite campus, but the link is not confirmed, so scope is platform. · Covers the operator's wider portfolio in this country, not this site alone.

Meralco's white paper lists 'Amadeo: Expansion Project (RY2028) (for Evolution Data Center (Javalera SS))' among its upcoming bulk supply projects. This is a planned substation expansion for regulatory year 2028, not a built connection. No MVA is given for it. The paper is dated 7 Jul 2025, although the file sits in a 2026-02 upload folder that the row notes cite as a Feb 2026 plan.
