High-voltage shift in energyThe US, Israel and Iran may be trading bombs over oil and ego, but here at home, the bloody crisis has not stopped our local energy players from what may soon be a highly charged shift in the country’s power industry. My energy beat mate, Manilla Bulletin’s Myrna Velasco, has hinted in her column that at least one shareholder is willing to sell his stake. Against this backdrop, Razon’s MORE Electric and Power Corp., alongside other key players like Bohol Light and Negros Electric and Power Corp., has made strategic investments in the Visayas. The stories of MORE Power, Bohol Light and Negros Power show that with the right investments, public utilities can improve significantly. Let’s wait and see what happens next in what is shaping up to be a high-voltage, highly charged shift in the energy sector.
