AEV allocates P105B for capex, up 37%, with major investments in renewable energy and infrastructure

Aboitiz Equity Ventures (AEV) has announced a P105 billion capital expenditure budget for 2025, marking a 37% increase from the previous year.

The majority of the capex will be allocated to Aboitiz Power Corporation’s renewable energy projects and distribution business, with P78 billion earmarked for power segment investments.

Aboitiz InfraCapital will receive a P16 billion allocation for economic estates expansion and telecommunications tower acquisitions, while UnionBank will fund digital infrastructure improvements.

Despite a 35% decline in first quarter earnings to ₱3.2 billion compared to the same period last year, AEV remains confident in its strategic investments in renewable energy and infrastructure.

AEV's power business, AboitizPower, contributed 62 percent of the Group’s net income in the first quarter of 2025, with new solar projects energized in Laoag (159 MWp), Armenia (45 MWp), and Calatrava (173 MWp).

Aboitiz Foods plans to invest in swine farms and greenfield R&D farms to drive innovation and ensure food security.

AEV's aggressive investment strategy reflects its strong confidence in the Philippine economy and commitment to sustainable progress and long-term value creation.
