Solar Philippines Nueva Ecija Corporation (SPNEC) is planning to complete its share swap agreement with its parent company, Solar Philippines, by the end of the year, its CEO said.

“We aim to complete the private placements to increase the public float for the share swap by the end of 2022,” Solar Philippines founder Leandro Leviste said.

According to Leviste, the company is in discussions with investors for private placements. This is on top of the stock rights offering with with offer period set from 30 August to 5 September.

“Our job is for these offerings to cover the equity required to complete the development of 10 GW of solar projects, while retaining an average of at least 50% economic interest,” he also said.

“SPNEC’s model is to create value through project development, investing for a smaller percentage of the cost that catalyzes larger investments, in the same way that we have in our earlier projects.”

The share swap agreement between Solar Philippines and SPNEC involved the issuance of 24.37 billion shares at an issue price of P2.50 per share. 

This is in exchange for Solar Philippines’ portfolio that includes more than 400 megawatts of projects, either operating or under construction.

Global clean energy tech market to hit $2t by 2035
This is fuelled by investments as countries aim to enhance energy security.The global clean energy technology market is projected to grow from $700b in 2023 to over $2t by 2035, nearing the scale of the crude oil market, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA).This growth is fuelled by significant investments in clean technology manufacturing as countries aim to enhance energy security, maintain economic competitiveness, and cut emissions. Investment is concentrated in regions with established positions in clean energy, particularly China, the European Union, the UK, and increasingly, India.Whilst the US, EU, and India have taken measures to support their clean energy sectors, China is expected to remain the world's manufacturing hub. By 2035, China's clean technology exports are forecasted to exceed $340b—comparable to projected oil export revenues from Saudi Arabia and the UAE.Southeast Asia, Latin America, and Africa contribute less than 5% of global cleantech production value, yet the IEA suggests that these areas still hold opportunities within the clean energy economy. Developing economies, for instance, could leverage competitive advantages to advance in the value chain beyond resource extraction.The IEA said Southeast Asia could become one of the most cost-effective regions for producing polysilicon and wafers for solar panels over the next decade.
