Vivant Corporation is looking to invest a combined PHP46 billion over the next six years as it accelerates its push toward a more sustainable and resilient portfolio across the energy and water sectors.

Speaking at the company’s 2025 Annual Stockholders Meeting, CEO Arlo A. Sarmiento said Vivant remains on track to meet its “30 by 30” target, referring to the company’s goal of having 30% of its generation capacity come from renewable energy (RE) sources by 2030.

“To bring this portfolio to life, we are projecting a cumulative project investment of roughly PHP 46 billion pesos between now until 2030,” Sarmiento said. “This will support project development, joint ventures, and continued expansion of our clean energy footprint—solidifying our role in shaping a more sustainable and reliable energy future for the country.”

Among the projects in the pipeline are the San Ildefonso solar plant in Bulacan, expected to begin operations in 2025, and the Lihangin Wind Energy project in Northern Samar, where Vivant holds a 30% equity stake. The wind farm is scheduled to start commercial operations by 2027 and aims to be one of the largest in the country at 206 megawatts.

“Currently, we are laying the necessary groundwork for successful execution,” Sarmiento said of the wind project. “We continue to expand our renewable energy footprint in support of the nation’s push for a more balanced energy mix.”

In addition to renewable ventures, Vivant continues to operate a diesel-powered generation portfolio that supports both off-grid and on-grid energy needs. As of end-2024, the company’s consolidated attributable capacity stood at 451 MW, including 207 MW on-grid diesel, 67 MW off-grid diesel, and 177 MW from coal assets.

“Our approach to conventional generation remains disciplined and demand-responsive,” Sarmiento noted, “ensuring that we continue to meet today’s needs while enabling tomorrow’s transition by providing grid security.”

Vivant also highlighted the importance of retail electricity supply as a future growth driver. Its platform, Corenergy, has been strengthened to capture emerging opportunities as the Philippine energy market evolves.

Beyond energy, Vivant is also scaling up its water infrastructure investments. Sarmiento announced that the company is preparing to allocate PHP10 billion over the next six years for projects spanning bulk water supply, wastewater treatment, and distribution, particularly in areas where access remains limited.

“Our investments continue to align with the country’s long-term energy and water goals,” Sarmiento said. He added that the company’s “30 by 30” target supports the Philippines’ broader “50 by 50” energy transition.

As it builds for the future, Vivant aims to grow responsibly by addressing infrastructure gaps and supporting national development priorities, especially in marginalized areas.
