POWER PODCAST EP 13 feat Manny Rubio, MGEN President and CEO

POWER PODCAST IS ON!

Power Podcast Episode 13. How do you build the world’s largest solar project—and keep the lights on for millions along the way? 

This week on Power Podcast, host Mayie Tanglao sits down with Emmanuel “Manny” V. Rubio, president and CEO of Meralco PowerGen (MGEN), who now leads the charge on MTerra Solar—a 3,500 MW solar farm paired with large-scale batteries, targeting first delivery in 2026.

We talk leadership, building a strong team culture, plus: the role of gas and coal in today’s grid, how batteries and digital tools are reshaping the energy future, and what communities really gain when big projects come to town.

Big ideas, big energy—straight from the man at the center of it.
