One of the region’s largest renewable-energy deals in 2024 took place in the Philippines. The ASEAN Investment Report 2025 confirms that British private-equity firm Actis acquired forty percent of Terra Solar Philippines for six hundred million dollars, marking a milestone in the country’s transition to clean power.

The project involves large-scale solar facilities in Luzon that are expected to provide power to hundreds of thousands of households. The deal also represents a broader shift in investor priorities toward low-carbon energy infrastructure. Actis has previously developed renewable projects in Thailand and Viet Nam, but its Philippine investment is among its biggest commitments in the region.

The ASEAN Secretariat described this transaction as proof that well-structured public-private partnerships can attract global capital. It also noted that clear policy direction from the Philippine government, such as renewable-portfolio standards and green-energy auctions, helped boost investor confidence.

Analysts say this could pave the way for more foreign investments in renewable energy, especially as the Philippines aims to reach thirty-five percent renewable power generation by 2030. The Actis deal is seen as a model for how foreign and local companies can collaborate to achieve both energy security and sustainability.
