Prime Infra’s Ambitious Hydropower Initiative Under the leadership of billionaire Enrique K. Razon Jr., Prime Infra is making a transformative entry into the renewable energy sector with a substantial $7.6 billion investment in two state-of-the-art pumped storage hydropower (PSH) plants. This landmark initiative aligns with the Philippines’ goals of energy independence and sustainability.
The Power and Potential of Pumped Storage Hydropower Pumped storage hydropower is an advanced technology that stores surplus energy by pumping water to an elevated reservoir during low demand periods. When energy demand peaks, the stored water is released to generate electricity, offering a flexible and efficient solution to balance power grids and ensure a steady energy supply.
Economic Impact of Prime Infra’s Investment The $7.6 billion investment is expected to catalyze significant economic activity in the Philippines. The construction of these PSH plants will create thousands of jobs, stimulate local economies, and foster a skilled workforce. Enhanced energy capacity will attract further investments across various sectors, boosting industrial growth and the nation’s overall economic competitiveness.
