Vena Energy’s project company, Helios Solar Energy Corp., has been recognized as Cadiz City’s top business and real property taxpayer for 2025, highlighting the economic contribution of renewable energy developers to local government revenues beyond power generation.

The Cadiz City Government conferred the awards during its annual top taxpayers recognition program held on July 6 at the Cadiz Arena, recognizing individuals and organizations whose tax payments support the city’s development.

Helios Solar Energy Corp. was named the Top 1 Real Property Taxpayer and Top 1 Business Taxpayer for 2025. According to Vena Energy, the recognition also marks the ninth consecutive year that the company has been acknowledged as the city’s leading taxpayer.

The company said its business and real property tax payments help fund public services, infrastructure, education, and community development projects in Cadiz City, where it operates one of its renewable energy facilities.

“We are deeply honoured to receive this recognition from the Cadiz City Government,” said Samrinder Nehria, Head of Vena Energy in the Philippines.

“Being recognised as the city’s top business and real property taxpayer for nine consecutive years reflects our commitment to being a responsible long-term partner to our host communities. At Vena Energy, our role extends beyond delivering clean energy. We are equally committed to supporting local economic development and ensuring that the communities hosting our projects share the benefits of the energy transition,” she added.

Vena Energy said the awards also reflect its commitment to responsible business practices, transparent corporate governance, and generating long-term socioeconomic value in communities hosting its renewable energy projects.

The company added that it will continue working with local stakeholders in Cadiz City while advancing its renewable energy operations and supporting the Philippines’ clean energy goals.
