Magnus appointed O&M contractor for a global energy major's Visayas–Mindanao solar portfolio

In July 2026 Magnus was contracted as operations and maintenance contractor for a global energy major's solar portfolio in the Visayas and Mindanao, across two lots executed on 21 July.

The scope covers what an asset owner actually worries about: 24/7 remote monitoring and alarm response, a preventive maintenance calendar running module cleaning, thermographic inspection, torque checks and inverter servicing, corrective maintenance against a regional spares stock, and performance reporting on PR, availability and yield against model. We have also taken over the spare-parts inventory, which is the unglamorous part of an O&M handover and usually the part that determines whether a fault takes four hours or four weeks to clear.

An international energy company running solar assets in the southern Philippines has a choice between flying crews from Manila, building its own regional presence, or contracting an operator that already has one. We have crews, engineers and warehousing in the regions these sites sit in, including our Cebu warehouse, which is what made this practical rather than theoretical.

It matters to us for a second reason. Magnus built much of its reputation as an EPC — the company that designs and constructs the plant and then hands over the keys. O&M is a different discipline and a longer promise. A plant we build takes about six months; a plant we operate, we are accountable for over a twenty-year contract. Our current operating plan covers 117 sites and 33.8 MWp across our own fleet, client systems and third-party portfolios, as of August 2026.

Being selected to operate someone else's assets, by a company with its own engineering standards and no shortage of alternatives, is a straightforward third-party verdict on ours.
