Beijing / Manila – August 2025 In a significant move to accelerate the renewable energy transition in Southeast Asia, JA Solar, a global leader in photovoltaic technology, has entered into a two-year strategic cooperation agreement with Advance Prime Power Corporation (AP Power), one of the Philippines’ foremost renewable energy developers.
The agreement, formalized during a signing ceremony at JA Solar’s headquarters in Beijing, aims to strengthen collaboration on solar power development in the Philippines and neighboring markets. The partnership is set to scale up solar photovoltaic (PV) projects, enhance technology deployment, and promote broader clean energy adoption in the region.
Building on Momentum: From Supply Agreement to Strategic Partnership
The new Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) follows a successful supply agreement between the two companies earlier this year. Building on that foundation, the extended partnership outlines a more comprehensive strategy to deliver solar infrastructure over the next two years.
The collaboration will focus on expanding project pipelines, introducing advanced solar PV technologies, and supporting Southeast Asia’s growing demand for renewable energy solutions. Both companies have reaffirmed their commitment to contributing to the region’s long-term sustainability and energy security.
“The Philippines is a core market for JA Solar, where we’ve built a strong presence through more than a decade of localized service and trusted partnerships,” said Ms. Jin Junhui, Board Director of JA Solar. “This agreement deepens our regional footprint, and together with AP Power, we aim to deliver high-quality solar PV solutions that support Southeast Asia’s clean energy transition.”
A Shared Vision for a Cleaner Future
JA Solar and AP Power share a vision of scalable, reliable, and sustainable energy systems that meet the region’s environmental and economic goals. The Philippines, in particular, has emerged as a key growth market, with an increasing push toward renewable energy to reduce dependence on fossil fuels and combat climate change.
“JA Solar’s proven performance and innovation are key to achieving our energy transition goals in the Philippines,” said Mr. Shen Jian, CEO of AP Power. “This collaboration brings together complementary strengths to create new clean energy capacity and offer a sustainable model for energy partnerships across Southeast Asia.”
Driving Southeast Asia’s Energy Transformation
The partnership arrives at a crucial moment, as Southeast Asian nations ramp up their renewable energy targets in line with global climate agreements. The Philippines, for instance, has set ambitious goals to increase its share of renewable energy to 35% by 2030 and 50% by 2040.
Through this collaboration, JA Solar will provide cutting-edge photovoltaic modules and technological expertise, while AP Power will spearhead project development, grid integration, and regulatory coordination.
Together, the companies plan to not only build capacity but also share best practices that can be replicated in other emerging markets across the region.
A Model for Cross-Border Clean Energy Collaboration
The agreement represents more than a business transaction — it symbolizes a new model of cross-border cooperation in clean energy development. By leveraging JA Solar’s global manufacturing scale and AP Power’s local development expertise, the partnership is expected to deliver impactful results for both companies and for regional stakeholders.
This alignment between global technology leaders and local innovators showcases how public-private partnerships and strategic alliances can contribute to building a more resilient, low-carbon energy future in Southeast Asia.
Looking Ahead
As the energy landscape in Southeast Asia evolves, the JA Solar–AP Power partnership is set to play a pivotal role in helping the region meet its sustainability targets. With a clear roadmap and strong alignment of values, both companies are poised to deliver bankable, high-impact solar energy solutions over the next two years — and potentially beyond.
