- Vivant Corporation is an investment holding company engaged in electric power generation, power distribution, retail electricity supply, and water and wastewater infrastructure solutions. Incorporated in 1990 and headquartered in Mandaue City, Cebu, Philippines, the company operates primarily across the Philippine power and utility sectors through its subsidiaries and equity affiliates. Vivant Corporation provides a comprehensive portfolio of energy products and utility services, including conventional thermal and diesel power generation for baseload, intermediate, and peaking requirements; off-grid and small power utilities group (SPUG) hybrid generation systems; utility-scale and distributed renewable energy solutions comprising solar photovoltaic installations, run-of-river hydroelectricity, and onshore wind power; on-grid power distribution services delivered to residential, commercial, and industrial consumers; licensed retail electricity supply and customized energy management services for contestable industrial end-users; engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) and operations and maintenance (O&M) services for commercial and industrial rooftop solar systems; bulk water supply; utility-scale seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) desalination; municipal water distribution; and industrial wastewater treatment and water recycling engineering services.
The company conducts its core business operations through two primary subsidiaries: Vivant Energy Corporation and Vivant Hydrocore Holdings Inc. Within the energy sector, Vivant Corporation holds a significant equity stake in Visayan Electric Company, Inc. (VECO), the second-largest private electric distribution utility in the Philippines serving Greater Cebu. Its power generation footprint extends across Luzon, the Visayas, and Mindanao, encompassing major equity investments and operational control in assets such as Isla Norte Power Corporation in Bantayan Island, Calamian Islands Power Corporation in Palawan, Bukidnon Power Corporation in Mindanao, 1590 Energy Corporation in La Union, and Cebu Energy Development Corporation in Cebu. Through its retail electricity and solar arm, COREnergy Inc., the company provides contracted electricity supply, distributed energy resources, and energy efficiency solutions to commercial and industrial clients nationwide. In the water sector, Vivant Hydrocore Holdings Inc. focuses on water security, infrastructure development, and wastewater management across high-growth urban and provincial hubs in the Philippines.
In recent developments, Vivant Corporation has executed several major strategic expansions and investments aimed at scaling its renewable energy and water infrastructure divisions. In the water utility sector, the company commenced commercial operations for its landmark seawater reverse osmosis desalination facility through Isla Mactan Cordova Corporation in Cordova, Cebu, supplying bulk desalinated potable water to the Metropolitan Cebu Water District under a 25-year joint venture agreement. In the energy sector, Vivant Energy expanded its clean energy capacity through the full acquisition and development of San Ildefonso Alternative Energy Corp., a 22-megawatt solar power facility located in Bulacan, Luzon. Furthermore, Vivant Corporation entered into a strategic joint venture consortium with Aboitiz Renewables Inc. and Vena Energy to co-develop the 206-megawatt San Isidro Wind Project in Northern Samar. Backed by a long-term capital expenditure program allocating substantial investment to clean power generation, off-grid hybrid reliability systems, and water resource treatment facilities, the company continues to pivot its portfolio toward a target of substantial renewable energy capacity and diversified infrastructure operations across the Philippines.
