Repower Energy Development Corporation, the first pure-play hydropower company that will list soon at the Philippine Stock Exchange, is set to build more hydropower projects under its pipeline. This is in line with its goal to serve more rural communities, provide jobs to the people in the area, and uplift their living standards.

The company is currently constructing the 15 MW Pulanai MHP project in Bukidnon and the 4.5 MW Piapi MHP project in Quezon. REDC expects the two plants to start their commercial operations by 2025. For the Tignoan MHP, which is also located in Quezon, the company foresees the possibility of breaking ground in 2024 by its affiliate, Blue Energy.

In addition, REDC expects to start commercial operations of its 5 MW Tibag MHP and 1.4 MW Lower Labayat MHP, both located in Quezon by June this year. These plants are expected to contribute much-needed energy to our grid, in light of ongoing red and yellow alerts issued by the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines.

The 5 MW Tibag MHP and 1.4 MW Lower Labayat MHP would also contribute to the bottom line of the company, with around Php 300 million in net income expected to be generated.

REDC believes run-of-river hydropower is by far the most efficient kind of renewable energy. This is seen in the company’s plants running at an average of around 70% efficiency. In comparison, the average for plant capacity factors is just 12.7% for solar, 33.9% for wind, and 63.2% for geothermal.

As such, REDC leverages on its efficiency to provide reliable and clean energy to rural and under-electrified communities — therefore uplifting their living standards while generating excellent returns on investment.

In all facets of its operations, REDC is guided by its North Star of addressing Filipinos’ energy needs through environmental sustainability.

Repower Energy Development Corp. expects net income to reach P300 million in 2023, up 7.8 percent from P168 million last year.

Repower Energy Development Corp. expects net income to reach P300 million in 2023, up 7.8 percent from P168 million last Revenues climbed to P382 million in 2022 from P233 million in 2021, reflecting a strong momentum in terms of financial performance.

REDC said one of the factors leading to the company’s strong financial performance is the favorable regulatory regime under the feed-in-tariff program—a policy designed to provide a guaranteed fixed rate for renewable energy investors.

“If the government can support us with more financial capabilities to achieve financial closure for the projects, that would help a lot,” REDC president Eric Peter Roxas said in an interview with ANC’s Market Edge.

The company is pursuing an initial public offering of 200 million primary common shares, with an over-allotment option for another 30 million secondary shares. The shares will be sold at P5 apiece. REDC intends to use the proceeds for its expansion plans such as partially funding the equity portion of Pulanai mini hydro power project and Piapi mini-hydro project in Bukidnon and Quezon provinces, respectively and acquiring other renewable energy projects.

MANILA -Repower Energy Development Corp., the soon-to-list power firm of the Tiu family, plans to grow its renewable energy portfolio in the next five years by building hydro power projects with a potential combined capacity of 1,000 megawatts (MW).

Repower Energy president Eric Peter Roxas explained that while hydro plants required more capital and were therefore more costly to develop, “the returns on investment can be massive for their bottom line, and recurring income can last up to 100 years or more.”

“There’s a lot of nature involved, [like] passing through mountains [and] building headrace canals. It’s not for the faint of heart. But once you build it, the continuous flow of the rivers will keep it running for the next 25 to 50 years,” he said in a recent television interview.

Roxas added that the company’s three run-of-river plants were proof of the efficiency of hydro power, as these plants were still “going strong” despite nearing 100 years of operations.

Repower Energy, a subsidiary of businessman Dexter Tiu’s Pure Energy Holdings Corp., recently got approval from the Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE) and the Securities and Exchange Commission to raise as much as P1.15 billion through an initial public offering (IPO) in June.

The company is selling up to 200 million shares at a maximum offer price of P5 per share to raise P1 billion for its existing power projects.

REPOWER ENERGY Development Corp. is planning to expand its installed energy capacity by 1 gigawatt (GW) in the next five years, with its portfolio mainly focused on hydropower projects.

Eric Peter Y. Roxas, president of Repower Energy, said the company’s hydropower plants have been operating for the past seven years and have an efficiency capacity factor of around 72%.

“We have a very high plant factor and good hydrology. We’re very happy with the performance of the power plants,” he said in a media release on Monday.

Mr. Roxas said that compared to other technologies, such as solar and wind, hydropower offers way higher efficiency compared with solar at 12.7% and wind at 33%.

The company said it is setting its sights on growing its capacity by another 1,000 megawatts and concentrating on hydropower projects, “possibly upstream and downstream of existing power plants.” It is also considering seawater pumped storage.

Mr. Roxas noted that while hydropower plants require huge capital investments for construction, the return on investments can be huge and recurring income can extend beyond 100 years.

“There’s a lot of nature involved [like] passing through mountains [and] building headrace canals. It’s not for the faint of heart. But once you build it, the continuous flow of the rivers will keep it running for the next 25 to 50 years,” he said.

To date, Repower Energy has six operating power plants in Laguna, Quezon, and Camarines Sur provinces. Two more power plants are expected to come online by June this year which will increase the company’s operational capacity by more than 60%.

Meanwhile, Mr. Roxas is optimistic about the company’s performance in 2023, projecting the company’s net income to reach P300 million this year from P168 million last year.

The energy company, which is a subsidiary of Pure Energy Holdings Corp., is looking to raise about P1.5 billion through an initial public offering (IPO).

Repower Energy secured clearance from the Philippine Stock Exchange on May 15 for its IPO plan. It is set to offer 200-million primary common shares at a maximum offer price of P5 apiece, with an over-allotment option of up to 30 million shares.

The company said proceeds from the IPO will fund expansion plans, including its mini hydroelectric power plants in Pulanai, Bukidnon, and Piapi, Quezon, as well as the development of its other renewable energy projects.

Repower Energy Development Corp. expects net income to reach P300 million in 2023, up 7.8 percent from P168 million last year.

REDC has six operating power plants in Laguna, Quezon and Camarines Sur.

Two more power plants will come online by June 2023, increasing the company’s operational capacity by over 60 percent.

The company set its sights on “growing another 1,000 megawatts in its portfolio, concentrated on hydropower projects, possibly upstream and downstream of existing power plants and seawater pump storage” in the next five years.

Roxas said hydropower is one of the most efficient types of renewable energy.

“Our hydropower plants, which we were operating for the past seven years, have a capacity factor [efficiency] of around 72 percent. We have a very high plant factor and good hydrology. We’re very happy with the performance of the power plants,” he said.

Roxas said this is higher compared to solar power plants whose efficiency is around 12.7 percent, while wind power plants have an efficiency of around 33 percent.

He said that with more efficient power plants, REDC’s hydropower plants could offer cheaper electricity to consumers.

“For example, the wholesale market is doing P8 to P9 because of the high oil prices. We are stable at around P5.87. Solar [is around] P8 to P9 per kilowatt-hour,” Roxas said.

Roxas also said that while hydropower plants require a lot of capital for construction, the returns on investment could be massive for their bottomline, and recurring income could last up to 100 years or more.

“There’s a lot of nature involved [like] passing through mountains [and] building headrace canals. It’s not for the faint of heart. But once you build it, the continuous flow of the rivers will keep it running for the next 25 to 50 years,” he said.

Repower Energy Development Corporation (REDC) is optimistic its net income will reach P300 million this year as it rides high on its robust financial performance.

With its revenues surging threefold to P382 million and net income climbing to P168 million last year, REDC has attributed its success to several factors, including the favorable regulatory regime facilitated by the feed-in-tariff (FIT) program.

The FIT program has provided a stable and guaranteed fixed rate, attracting renewable energy investors and driving REDC’s impressive financial growth.

“If the government can support us with more financial capabilities to achieve financial closure for the projects, that would help a lot,” REDC president Eric Peter Y. Roxas told ANC.

REDC is gearing up for its upcoming initial public offering (IPO), aiming to offer 200 million primary common shares along with an over-allotment option of up to 30 million secondary shares.

Priced at up to P5 per share, the IPO proceeds will fuel REDC’s expansion plans, including the partial funding of the equity portion for the Pulanai and Piapi hydro plants in Bukidnon and Quezon, respectively.

The company also intends to use the funds for acquiring other promising renewable energy projects.

With a solid foundation, REDC currently operates six power plants across Laguna, Quezon, and Camarines Sur.

The company is set to bolster its operational capacity by over 60 percent as two additional power plants are scheduled to go live by June 2023.

Looking ahead, REDC has ambitious goals for the next five years, aiming to add 1,000 megawatts to its portfolio. This expansion will be primarily focused on hydropower projects, both upstream and downstream of existing power plants, as well as exploring the potential of seawater pump storage technology

As REDC positions itself for growth, the IPO serves as a stepping stone to fuel its ambitious renewable energy endeavors.

PURE Meridian Hydropower Corp. (PMHC) said it has broken ground on its 3-megawatt (MW) run-of-river run of river hydropower plant in Lalawinan, Quezon Province.

PMHC is a joint venture of Manila Electric Co. (Meralco) with Repower Energy Development Corp. (REDC), a subsidiary of Pure Energy Holdings Corp.

The Lalawinan hydropower plant is the second project under the partnership, PMHC chairman Alfredo Panlilio said in a statement on Wednesday.

The first partnership project is the Pulanai run of river hydropower plant in Bukidnon, which had its groundbreaking last December.

The Lalawinan plant will connect to the transmission infrastructure of REDC’s Upper Labayat 3-MW mini-hydro power project via a 10.5-kilometer, 69-kilovolt (kV) line. It will have two generating units, and the total annual power generation will be over 16-gigawatthours (GWh) from this renewable energy source.

The project cost is P700 million and it is expected to generate over 200 jobs during construction, mostly hired from the local community.

The project will avail of the run-of-river hydropower feed-in-tariff (FiT) rate of 5.90 per kilowatt hour. ROR hydropower is the cheapest renewable energy resource being charged under FiT.

"We reiterate our earlier pronouncement that our investments in the various run-of-river mini hydro projects are a manifestation of our unwavering commitment to support the development of the renewable energy sector. It is our hope that these various initiatives will contribute in providing a stable, clean and reliable energy source," Panlilio added.

PMHC and Pure Energy’s CEO Dexter Y. Tiu said they remain focused on putting forward knowledge on run-of-river (ROR) technology.

"Our goal is to provide sustainable alternatives to balance the country’s overdependence on fossil fuels, while preserving our natural watersheds," Tiu said.

World Wide Fund recently signed a partnership with Pure Energy to identify key areas for potential run-of-river hydropower development. A Seize the Flow campaign was also recently launched by the parties to promote awareness and preservation of the watersheds.

"We are committed to help save our last remaining Sierra Madre rainforest and wildlife habitat here in Quezon, which is our humble way of participating in the war on climate change," Tiu added.

The Lalawinan plant is Meralco’s first foray in run-of-river hydropower in Luzon, while for Pure Energy’s hydropower arm, REDC, this is its third hydropower groundbreaking this year.

Aside from Lalawinan, REDC is targeting to break ground on two more hydropower projects this year, and another 15 hydropower projects in the next three years.

Meanwhile, Pure Energy plans to venture into the intermittent solar energy for a balanced portfolio of renewable energy projects.

Repower Energy Development Corp., a subsidiary of Pure Energy Holdings Corp., is looking at a capital expenditure budget of P15 billion to develop 50 megawatts of capacity and other possible RE projects in the next three to five years.

Its projects under development include the 15-megawatt Pulanai mini-hydro power plant in Bukidnon and the 4.5-MW Piapi mini-hydro power plant in Quezon which are expected to come online by 2025.

“The balance of the 30 MW will come from the low-hanging projects that are in advanced development stage and being developed under our affiliates,” the company said.

REDC’s portfolio of operating and income-generating mini-hydro power plants include the 1.5-MW Palakpakin, 1.1-MW Balugbog, 300-kilowatt Calibato, 2.19-MW Majayjay, 1.6-MW Inarihan, 3.456-MW Upper Labayat, 5-MW Tibag and 1.4-MW Lower Labayat.

The Tibag and Lower Labayt power plants in Quezon will come online by June 2023.

The Philippine Stock Exchange and the Securities and Exchange Commission approved REDC’s planned initial public offering.

REDC will offer 200 million primary common shares for up to P5 apiece, with an overallotment option for another 30 million common shares.

The company plans to use the proceeds from the IPO to fund the equity portion of the Pulanai and Piapi power project, the development and acquisition of renewable energy projects and fund operating and working capital requirements.

China Bank Capital will serve as the lead underwriter for the offering.

“We are pleased to receive regulatory approvals for our IPO, given this is a major step for us to be able to expand our presence in bringing clean and renewable energy to under-electrified communities around the country,” REDC president Eric Peter Roxas said.

“Unlike other renewable energy companies that did an IPO with net losses and selling a pipe dream, REDC is a solid company with recurring net income that grows exponentially,” Roxas said.

He said REDC’s business model is pandemic and crisis-proof. “Whether oil hits $200 per barrel tomorrow or the peso exchange rate dives to USD 1 = P100 one day, we are here to stay and provide a strong dividend yield to our shareholders year on year,” Roxas said.

REDC has a three-year track record of profitability, with a net income of P168 million in 2022 and a projected net income of close to P300 million in 2023.

The company is also looking at onshore wind projects and seawater-pumped storage projects totaling 1,000 MW of RE capacity.

Repower Energy Development Corp. (REDC), a subsidiary of businessman Dexter Tiu’s Pure Energy Holdings Corp., has received the greenlight from the Philippine Stock Exchange for its initial public offering estimated to raise around P1.15 billion.

REDC will offer 200 million primary common shares at a maximum price of P5 per share with an overallotment option of up to 30 million common shares.

Proceeds from the IPO will be utilized for the Pulanai mini-hydro project in Bukidnon, the Piapi mini-hydro project located in Quezon, the development and acquisition of renewable energy projects, as well as for operating and working capital requirements.

These projects are targeted to come online by 2025.

MB BOTTOM-LINE

I’m a fanboy of run-of-river hydro (I used to work in the industry back in a previous life, and the physics are fascinating to me) and I’m a fan of renewable energy development and of IPOs in general.

This isn’t a massive IPO by any means, but this is the kind of listing that the SEC and PSE were hoping to attract when it relaxed the listing rules and embarked on a multi-year marketing push to educate SMEs about the potential benefits of raising money through the markets.

Speaking of REDC specifically, I like that the deal is so primary-heavy and that the company is putting the vast majority of the proceeds toward project development.

I also like that they’ve got the chance for a particularly fun ticker symbol like REPOW, RPOWR, or HYDRO, so I hope they step away from the boring “initialism of the holding company’s legal name” strategy that companies like Figaro and Haus Talk used while squandering their obvious ticker potential.

I'm going to cover this one more in-depth once the deal is approved by the PSE.
