This infrastructure is intended to irrigate 350 hectares of rice fields, benefiting approximately 237 Palay farmers.<\/p>\n\n<p>During his speech, the president emphasized that this project will allow farmers to save considerably due to the free supply of electricity. He also mentioned that <strong>the solar panels are placed over the irrigation canal<\/strong>, thus avoiding the reduction of the cultivable area.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Filipina works on irrigation projects  <\/h2>\n\n<p>Marcos said the NIA has already implemented <strong>15 massive solar pump irrigation projects and two smaller projects in the Cagayan Valley region<\/strong>. In total, 82 solar pump irrigation projects have been completed nationwide since 2023.<\/p>\n\n<p>In addition, the president assured that more similar projects will be built in the coming months and years, reiterating the government&#8217;s commitment to agricultural modernization.<\/p>\n\n<p>Marcos commended the NIA for its dedication to completing key projects and urged them to explore further <strong>\n  <a href=\"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/news\/start-an-agrovoltaic-project-in-portugal\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"158315\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">irrigation systems<\/a>\n<\/strong> combined with power generation facilities, such as the Magat dam. He stressed that possible upgrades are being studied for this dam built four decades ago during the term of his father, the late President Ferdinand E. Marcos Sr.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Support for the expansion of agricultural irrigation<\/h2>\n\n<p>House Speaker <strong>Ferdinand Martin G. Romualdez<\/strong> expressed his intention to propose more funds for solar irrigation pumps in non-irrigated farming communities when considering the annual national budget. Romualdez led the distribution of 17 solar pumps in Isabela, helping hundreds of farmers to irrigate their land.<\/p>\n\n<p>Finally, Romualdez emphasized the importance of irrigation in the production of rice, corn and other agricultural products in Isabela and throughout the country. He also mentioned the need to support farmers with irrigation and other agricultural inputs to increase production.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Follow us on social networks and don&#8217;t miss any of our publications!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@inspenet\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">YouTube<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/inspenetnetwork\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">LinkedIn<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/inspenetnetwork\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Facebook<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/inspenet\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Instagram<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Inspenetnetwork\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">X<\/a><\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pna.gov.ph\/articles\/1226560\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.pna.gov.ph\/articles\/1226560\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">pna<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Photo: Freepik<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cabaruan&#8217;s solar irrigation system can produce 12,800 gallons of water per minute with its 1,056 solar panels.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9014,"featured_media":163435,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_bbp_topic_count":0,"_bbp_reply_count":0,"_bbp_total_topic_count":0,"_bbp_total_reply_count":0,"_bbp_voice_count":0,"_bbp_anonymous_reply_count":0,"_bbp_topic_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_reply_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_forum_subforum_count":0,"footnotes":""},"categoria_noticias":[13026,13044],"etiqueta_noticias":[],"class_list":["post-163695","noticias","type-noticias","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","categoria_noticias-energy","categoria_noticias-new-energies"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/noticias\/163695","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/noticias"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/noticias"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/9014"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=163695"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/noticias\/163695\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/163435"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=163695"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"categoria_noticias","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categoria_noticias?post=163695"},{"taxonomy":"etiqueta_noticias","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/etiqueta_noticias?post=163695"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
