Vivant Corporation (PSE: VVT) is planning to invest approximately Php 67 billion for its energy and water businesses through 2030, reinforcing its long-term commitment to expanding critical infrastructure across the country. Energy will represent 90% of the total or Php 60 billion while the balance of Php 7 billion is allocated for Water.

During its Annual Stockholders’ Meeting today, the Cebu-based conglomerate reiterated its plans to expand its total attributable generation capacity to 1,000 megawatts (MW), with at least 30% from renewable energy (RE) sources, aligned with its 30 by 30 target (30% RE in the energy portfolio by 2030). Of the total planned investment, about 78% will be directed toward renewable energy projects as it moves to a more balanced portfolio across conventional and renewable energy assets to help address the country’s energy requirements.

Meanwhile, the Company plans to spend its Php 7 billion allocation to grow its portfolio across the water value chain, with around 70% allocated for bulk water supply projects and the remaining 30% for water distribution operations.

Through these initiatives in energy and water, Vivant moves closer to its goal of becoming a major power conglomerate with presence in other industries by 2030 and a major Philippine conglomerate by 2040.

The Company added that its next phase of expansion will focus not only on growing its portfolio, but also on increasing operational control and accountability over the assets it develops and manages.

“Following the strong performance delivered in 2025 and amid the challenges encountered in the first quarter of 2026, we remain firmly committed to achieving our 2030 targets,” said Arlo G. Sarmiento, Vivant Corporation chief executive officer (CEO).

Mr. Sarmiento further commented: “Stabilized by our strong foundation of existing investments in power and water, I am confident that our projected Php 60-70 billion in pipeline investments over the next 5 years will allow us to continue to deliver on our mission to bring excellence to industries that improve everyday living.”

Chief Finance (CFO) and Risk Officer (CRO) Minuel Carmela N. Franco added: “Recently, the Vivant Board of Directors approved a dividend declaration of Php 0.6076 per share which represents the payout from the 2025 net income. I am pleased that this year’s dividends reflected a 6% year on year increase. As Vivant continues to scale, improving shareholder value shall remain among our top priorities, alongside providing excellent service to our customers.”
