Geothermal Energy Expansions

SM Investments increased its renewable energy sourcing to 31% of total electricity consumption in 2025 as the company expanded geothermal and solar energy deployment across its operations. The group sourced approximately 730 million kilowatt-hours of renewable electricity while supporting geothermal development projects and installing more than 200,000 solar panels across retail and property sites in the Philippines. The company is also developing additional geothermal locations capable of supplying more renewable power for long-term national energy needs.

The expansion reflects growing interest in diversified renewable infrastructure as businesses seek more stable and cost-efficient energy systems. Geothermal energy offers consistent electricity generation compared to intermittent renewable sources, making it an increasingly valuable part of regional energy planning. The company’s broader renewable strategy also highlights how large organizations are integrating solar deployment, energy financing, and operational efficiency initiatives to strengthen long-term resilience while supporting cleaner electricity generation across commercial and industrial sectors.
