ACEN to invest P60B in PHL solar, wind, and battery projects

RENEWABLE ENERGY developer ACEN Corp. is expected to allocate the bulk of its P80-billion capital expenditure (capex) this year to the development of its major renewable energy projects in the Philippines.

Speaking to reporters on Tuesday, ACEN President and Chief Executive Officer Eric T. Francia said the budget will finance solar, wind, and battery storage projects currently in the company’s pipeline.

“Over 60 billion [is allocation for] the Philippines alone,” Mr. Francia said.

If realized, the P80-billion capex would surpass last year’s actual spending of around P55 billion.

ACEN currently operates 4.3 gigawatts (GW) of renewable energy projects across its markets, including the Philippines, Australia, Vietnam, India, Indonesia, Laos, and the United States.

Mr. Francia said the company expects to end the year with more than 5 GW of operational renewable energy capacity, as around 1 GW of projects is set to be energized this year.

“We’ll be more than 5 GW operational expected by end of this year. And then we should be close to 7 GW operational by next year,” he said, referring to projects under construction and backed by signed agreements.

The company also anticipates improved performance this year compared with 2025, supported by additional output from recently energized plants and those scheduled to come online.

“The wind farms that were impacted in late 2024 by the typhoon have been substantially restored already since the third quarter of last year,” Mr. Francia said.

“So the plants have been stable in terms of operations. That would definitely add to the volume output.”

For the nine months ending September, ACEN posted a 78% drop in attributable net income to P1.79 billion from P8.14 billion a year ago.

Revenues fell 18% to P23 billion from P28 billion in the previous year, reflecting softer electricity prices and lower power generation output.

On the local bourse on Tuesday, ACEN shares fell 3.92% to close at P2.94 apiece. — Sheldeen Joy Talavera

Whales Dump 200 Million XRP in Just 2 Weeks – Is XRP’s Price on the Verge of Collapse?

Whales Dump 200 Million XRP in Just 2 Weeks – Is XRP’s Price on the Verge of Collapse?

Whales offload 200 million XRP leaving market uncertainty behind. XRP faces potential collapse as whales drive major price shifts. Is XRP’s future in danger after massive sell-off by whales? XRP’s price has been under intense pressure recently as whales reportedly offloaded a staggering 200 million XRP over the past two weeks. This massive sell-off has raised alarms across the cryptocurrency community, as many wonder if the market is on the brink of collapse or just undergoing a temporary correction. According to crypto analyst Ali (@ali_charts), this surge in whale activity correlates directly with the price fluctuations seen in the past few weeks. XRP experienced a sharp spike in late July and early August, but the price quickly reversed as whales began to sell their holdings in large quantities. The increased volume during this period highlights the intensity of the sell-off, leaving many traders to question the future of XRP’s value.

Can XRP Recover or Is a Bigger Decline Ahead? As the market absorbs the effects of the whale offload, technical indicators suggest that XRP may be facing a period of consolidation. The Relative Strength Index (RSI), currently sitting at 53.05, signals a neutral market stance, indicating that XRP could move in either direction. This leaves traders uncertain whether the XRP will break above its current resistance levels or continue to fall as more whales sell off their holdings. Source: Tradingview Additionally, the Bollinger Bands, suggest that XRP is nearing the upper limits of its range. This often points to a potential slowdown or pullback in price, further raising concerns about the future direction of the XRP. With the price currently around $3.02, many are questioning whether XRP can regain its footing or if it will continue to decline. The Aftermath of Whale Activity: Is XRP’s Future in Danger? Despite the large sell-off, XRP is not yet showing signs of total collapse. However, the market remains fragile, and the price is likely to remain volatile in the coming days. With whales continuing to influence price movements, many investors are watching closely to see if this trend will reverse or intensify. The coming weeks will be critical for determining whether XRP can stabilize or face further declines. The combination of whale offloading and technical indicators suggest that XRP’s price is at a crossroads. Traders and investors alike are waiting for clear signals to determine if the XRP will bounce back or continue its downward trajectory.
