As disclosed in the Philippine Stock Exchange, PERC has signed an agreement with EEI Power to acquire its shares in PetroSolar Corp., PetroWind Energy Inc., and PetroGreen Energy Corp. (PGEC).

The company said that the acquisition supports the company’s plan to focus on renewable energy and increase its investments in planned projects and the opportunities that RE offers.

A staggering 213.68 million shares, equivalent to 7.5% interest of the PGEC, will be secured from EEI Power at P2.78 a piece for P594 million.

PERC, by means of PGEC, at present has an operating capacity of 138 megawatts (MW) of renewable energy.

PGEC is a joint venture between PERC, EEI Power, and Kyuden International Corp.

Under the agreement, PERC will acquire 44% or 6.99 million shares of PetroSolar for P1.44 billion, which is a joint investment by PGEC and EEI Power.
