ACEN raises loan for 133.5 MWp solar PV project in Cagayan

ACEN Corp. has announced plans to increase its financial support for a 133.5 MW Cagayan North Solar Power project in Cagayan, Philippines. In a recent filing with the stock exchange, the company revealed that it has signed a revised loan agreement with Natures Renewable Energy Devt. Corp. (NAREDCO) and CleanTech Renewable Energy 4 Corp. (CREC4). Under the agreement, ACEN will provide additional funding of up to PHP1.16 billion (US$20.6 million), using the same terms and security measures as the original loan.
