Energy Transition Financing Facility
BPI Institutional Banking, BPI Capital Corporation
In 2022, BPI Capital served as the mandated Lead Arranger for the world’s first Energy Transition financing deal, marking a global milestone in sustainable finance. The Php 13.7 billion deal was arranged for South Luzon Thermal Energy Corporation (SLTEC), a wholly owned subsidiary of Ayala‑led ACEN Corporation, and will facilitate the early retirement, decommissioning, and repurposing of the 246‑megawatt coal‑fired power plant. The transaction accelerates the plant’s closure by at least 15 years from its original technical lifespan and supports its transition toward renewable energy development. This landmark initiative aligns with the Ayala Group’s net‑zero commitment through 2050 and underscores BPI Capital’s role in advancing large‑scale decarbonization and clean energy capacity in the Philippines.
