Description of Business Business Development PHINMA Energy Corporation (formerly Trans-Asia Oil and Energy Development Corporation) (“PHINMA Energy”, or “the Company”) was established by the Philippine Investment Management (PHINMA), Inc. on September 8, 1969 in line with PHINMA’s vision to create a vehicle for building the nation’s economy through self-reliance in energy. PHINMA Energy is engaged primarily in power generation and electricity supply, with secondary investments in petroleum and geothermal exploration. The Company was originally known as Trans-Asia Oil and Mineral Development Corporation, reflecting its original purpose of engaging in petroleum and mineral exploration and production. In order to diversify its product and revenue portfolio, the Company invested in power generation and supply, which eventually became its main business and revenue source. On April 11, 1996, the Company’s name was changed to Trans-Asia Oil and Energy Development Corporation. Moving forward, on August 22, 2016, the company embraced the name of its parent, to become known as PHINMA Energy Corporation, combining the company’s commercial success with PHINMA’s longstanding reputation, in commemoration of PHINMA’s 60th anniversary. Description of Principal Businesses Power Generation The principal product of power generation and supply is the electricity produced and delivered to the end-consumers. It involves the conversion of fuel or other forms of energy to electricity; or the purchase of electricity from the Philippine Wholesale Electricity Spot Market (WESM). The Company conducts its power generation and supply activities directly or through its Joint Venture Company and subsidiary. The Electricity Supply business continues its active participation in the WESM through buying the electricity requirements of customers and selling the excess output of the Company’s generation supply portfolio. In 2016, the total energy sales reached 2,947 GWh a 33% increase from 2,216 GWh in 2015. Our primary customers are: Holcim Philippines’ cement plants in Bulacan and La Union, Philippine Economic Zone Authority’s (PEZA’s) Cavite Economic Zone, Quezon II Electric Cooperative Inc. (QUEZELCO II), Lafarge Republic, Inc., Direct Power Services, Inc. and new customers accounted for the bulk of the total energy sold while the remaining supply was sold to WESM. Aside from the WESM, the Company also sourced electricity from contracted capacities with SEM-Calaca Power Corporation, Unified Leyte Geothermal Power Plant and KEPCO SPC Power Corporation. In 2016, the Company’s total generation capacity was 639.4 megawatts (MW), a 40% increase from 455.4 MW in 2015. 2016 additional capacity include SLTEC Unit 2 with 135 MW, and Power Barges 101 and 102, which have a nominal capacity of 64 MW. Trans-Asia Power Generation Corporation (TAPGC) On April 10, 2014, Trans-Asia Power Generation Corporation (“TAPGC”) purchased the shares of One Subic Power Generation Corp. (“OSPGC”), the lessee and operator of the 116 MW Subic Diesel Generator Power Plant (the “Subic Power Plant”). OSPGC has an D6 existing Power Administration and Management Agreement (PAMA) with PHINMA Energy under which PHINMA Energy is given the right to administer and manage the net output of the Subic Power Plant in consideration of energy fees to be paid by PHINMA Energy to OSPGC. The Agreement commenced on December 26, 2012 and shall be effective throughout the term of the lease of the Subic Power Plant from the owner, Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority (SBMA). The acquisition of OSPGC expanded TAPGC’s existing generation portfolio, adding to the 52MW Bunker C-Fired power plant in Bulacan serving Holcim’s Cement Plant. In 2016, TAPGC generated 36 gigawatt hours (GWh) of electricity and posted revenues of P414 million under its PAMA with PHINMA Energy. CIP II Power Corporation (CIPP) In December 2010, CIP II Power Corporation’s (“CIPP”) Board of Directors approved the transfer of its power plant from Laguna to Bacnotan, La Union, adjacent to the Holcim Cement Plant. Actual groundbreaking began on April 2011. The Plant was commissioned on December 21, 2012 and commenced commercial operations in January 2013. The new location of the Plant not only allowed it to serve the requirements of the adjacent Holcim cement plant, but also to sell power to the WESM and PHINMA Energy, with the total energy sales of CIPP reaching 10.50 GWh for the period January to June 2013. Thereafter, CIPP and PHINMA Energy entered into a PAMA, where PHINMA Energy pays CIPP energy fees for its entire capacity.

A DIRTY WASTE—HOW RENEWABLE ENERGY POLICIES HAVE FINANCED THE UNSUSTAINABLE WASTE-TO-ENERGY INDUSTRY Abstract: The end of the 20th Century saw a major shift in the United States’ approach to energy policy. After decades focused on fossil fuel production, the country began to realize that renewable sources of energy were the way of the future. Motivated by environmental concerns and a realization that oil is a fi- nite resource, the federal government and local governments began adopting economic policies that rewarded investment in and production of renewable, clean technology. Governments relied on both mandates and tax incentives to encourage the use of energy from sources like solar and wind power.
