Maria Bernadette Romero

AP Renewables Inc. (APRI), the geothermal subsidiary of Aboitiz Power Corporation, was recognized by Calauan, Laguna as its top taxpayer among local businesses during the Calauan Business Summit held recently at the municipal conference hall.

As in previous years, APRI was endorsed as a top taxpayer nominee to the provincial government of Laguna, which led to the energy company winning the province-wide award in 2024.

APRI operates two geothermal power facilities located in Tiwi, Albay, and the areas of Bay and Calauan, Laguna and Sto. Tomas, Batangas.

Aboitiz Power Corporation (AboitizPower), meanwhile, is the holding company for the Aboitiz Group’s investments in power generation, distribution, and retail electricity services.

The company is one of the largest power producers in the Philippines, with a balanced portfolio of assets located across the country.
