Background

Aboitiz Power Corporation was established on February 13, 1998.[2] The company is AEV's largest subsidiary, contributing 71% of its total income in the first three months of 2019, and holds all of its assets in generation and distribution of electricity.[3][5][6] The company's power generation unit is engaged in operations of solar, coal, oil, hydroelectric, and geothermal facilities.[7][8][9]

On July 16, 2007, it became a publicly-listed company on the Philippine Stock Exchange with an initial public offering of 1.8 billion shares out of 7.2 billion registered common shares.[5][10]

The company established the SN Aboitiz Power (SNAP), a joint venture with Norway-based company SN Power Invest AS, in 2005 with the goal of producing renewable energy.[11][12] It introduced the floating solar farm, the method of putting solar panels on a body of water to lessen land use, in Tawi-tawi and Magat Dam in Isabela.[13][14]

In April 2019, the Philippine Competition Commission (PCC), Energy Regulatory Commission, and the Senate Committee on Energy conducted separate probes on a series of power outages in Luzon that were said to be caused by alleged collusion among power firms as a way to increase electricity prices.[15][16] Power companies denied the claim, and Aboitiz Power Corporation stated that the said outages were "bad for business" and they were open to any investigation.[16][17] According to the Department of Energy, the outages were due to technical issues caused by old and new power plants, maintenance shutdown, and reduction of power rating of some facilities.[18]

gollark: It... actually could *mostly* do that, but no.
gollark: EWO over SPUDNET?
