The company also said its board had made the same move for $50 million or about P2.8 billion with Japanese bank Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group, Inc.

ACEN has around 4,200 MW of attributable capacity spread across the Philippines, Vietnam, Indonesia, India, and Australia. The energy company is targeting to expand its renewable energy portfolio to 20 gigawatts by 2030.

The company has also set its ambition to transition its power generation portfolio to fully renewable energy by 2025. It is targeting to reach 20 gigawatts of renewable capacity by 2030.
