Premiere Island Power REIT Corp. (PREIT) has outlined a three-year investment strategy to expand and diversify its portfolio of power and energy-related infrastructure assets, reinforcing its role as a long-term platform for energy-focused real estate while maintaining full occupancy across its existing properties.

In a strategy document disclosed on December 16 covering the period from 2025, PREIT said it plans to invest in assets that support renewable energy, hybrid generation facilities, and energy storage systems.

The REIT said its mandate centers on income-generating assets linked to clean and sustainable power generation, with a focus on missionary and underdeveloped areas where energy infrastructure remains critical to local development.

As of September 30, 2025, PREIT’s portfolio consists of land and power plant assets supporting electricity generation projects of its sponsors, Siquijor Island Power Corporation (SIPCOR) and Camotes Island Power Generation Corporation (CAMPCOR). These assets support a combined 21.2 megawatts (MW) of power capacity in Siquijor and Camotes Island, Cebu, with all properties reported as fully occupied.

PREIT said its investment approach emphasizes stable cash flows through long-term leases, with weighted average lease expirations ranging from six to eight years, while also pursuing growth through rental escalations, efficient asset use, and potential acquisitions that align with its energy-focused mandate.

Under its investment criteria, the REIT said it may acquire assets from its sponsors or third parties, subject to future disclosures, provided these properties meet its standards for sustainability, income stability, and alignment with energy infrastructure development.

The strategy document also disclosed that PREIT’s board approved the temporary suspension of its lease with SIPCOR following the Energy Regulatory Commission’s revocation of SIPCOR’s Provisional Authorities to Operate. The suspension, effective until December 31, 2025, allows SIPCOR to continue maintaining the assets while rent payments are temporarily halted.

As energy-focused REITs position themselves alongside the country’s renewable energy goals, how might alignment with clean power infrastructure shape investor confidence in the sector?
