Subject of the Disclosure
Comment on news article posted in Philippine DaiIy Inquirer Bizz Buzz dated May 25, 2022 entitled "Rising RE player".
This has reference to the correspondence of the Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE) sent via PSE-EDGE dated May 25, 2022, requesting for Victorias Milling Company, Inc. (VMC) to comment on the news article under Biz Buzz column entitled "Rising RE player" published in the Philippine Daily Inquirer on May 25, 2022. The article reported in part that:
"The race toward renewable energy (RE) dominance is becoming more competitive and Negros Occidental-based Victorias Milling Corp. (VMC)-which is into integrated sugar milling, manufacturing and biomass co-generation-wants to be a bigger contender.
VMC recently put out an ad to give mandatory notice of its application with the Board of Investments for the registration of additional investments as an RE developer.
Recall that VMC received in March a provisional authority from the Energy Regulatory Commission to operate its 40-megawatt biomass co-generation power plant with feed-in-tariff eligible capacity of 21.45 MW and its 2×2 MW black start diesel engine generating units for a period of one year until March 9, 2023.
We heard that VMC plans to invest an additional P1.8 billion to increase the capacity of the biomass co-generation power plant from 40MW to 63MW. The additional capacity is expected to be switched on by the end of 2023.
'We are maximizing use of bagasse as fuel for high-pressure boilers which will, in turn, convert into power via electric turbine,' a reliable company source told Biz Buzz.
. . . ."
VMC has applied for registration with the Board of Investments (BOI) to avail of the applicable incentives under the Renewable Energy Act of 2008 (Republic Act No. 9513), for the 40MW Biomass Cogeneration Power Plant as Renewable Energy Developer of Biomass Resources, which is covered by the Special Laws List of the 2020 Investment Priorities Plan (IPP) of the BOI/ Strategic Investment Priority Plan (IPP) .
The other items in the quoted news are still in the discussion phase for future consideration.
The Notice was put out as part of the requirements of BOI."
