AboitizPower currently harnesses Cleanergy, our brand for renewables, from hydro, geothermal, and solar power sources and continues to explore more opportunities to develop renewable energy. AboitizPower, together with its partners, currently owns 1,248 MW of total net sellable capacity from Cleanergy. 

AboitizPower strives to maintain a Balanced Mix Portfolio by providing reliable and ample power supply at reasonable and competitive prices while integrating social development and environmental stewardship into our business operations. Together with our partners, our total net sellable capacity is 5,322 MW, with an energy mix of 23% Cleanergy and 77% thermal energy. 

Our 10-year energy transition strategy will bring our portfolio mix to an almost 50:50 Cleanergy and Thermal capacities by 2030, which will ultimately address our country’s energy trilemma of energy security, energy equity, and environmental sustainability.

Our strategic directions in the next 10 years are geared towards delivering EBITDA growth and a major shift in AboitizPower’s energy mix.

• Growth capacity from 4,432 MW to 9,300 MW
• International business will become 13% of our generation portfolio.
• About 65% of new capacity between 2020 and 2029 will be Cleanergy.
• As a result, shift our overall capacity mix to almost 50:50 Cleanergy:Thermal.

The company did not have any significant fines related to environmental or ecological issues in the past five fiscal years.

AboitizPower follows its standardized guideline on solid waste management to include proper segregation, handling, storage, and disposal. This guideline promotes environmentally-sound methods that maximize the utilization of valuable resources and encourages resource re-use, recycling, and recovery, as well as establishing community partnerships where practicable.  

Furthermore, the company ensures that all hazardous waste generated within the facilities are properly identified, labeled, and handled to avoid adverse impact on human health and the environment. 

In 2021, AboitizPower conducted a recalibration on the data monitoring of our environmental footprint. This includes the identification and tracking of the hazardous wastes generated in our facilities. Starting in 2021, our fly ash by-product is tagged and monitored as hazardous waste. Although initially tagged as hazardous, the fly ash generated from our coal facilities is conditioned to be non-hazardous and sent to our partners to use as raw materials for cement grinding and concrete mixing.

AboitizPower strictly complies with all environmental regulations in the management of fly ash and bottom ash for its coal plants. AboitizPower is able to create a closed loop, value adding fly ash management by using the facility waste into a viable raw material for cement companies. Our coal plants has existing partnerships with cement companies for use of fly ash as additive in cement production.

As part of our commitment to the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations, particularly on the promotion of sustainable industrialization, we continue to partner with various organizations and companies in innovating new ways on the utilization of our fly ash and bottom ash, and turning it into ecobricks and other sustainable construction materials.
