Prime for trusting us to be their partner in their transition to clean and

various SM Prime properties with our renewable assets”, said Sandro Aboitiz,
Senior Vice President of the Commercial Operations Business Unit.
“We consider it a great
milestone for our group to be in support of SM’s transition to renewable energy
and are working to rapidly expand our renewable portfolio as the demand for
Cleanergy grows. We have supported a growing number of corporations
transitioning to clean and renewable energy and we are excited at the prospect
of seeing a future where Cleanergy is the norm.” said David Aboitiz, Aboitiz
