Congratulations to Solar Philippines Nueva Ecija Corp or SPNEC for leading the way,&quot; Monzon said.</p><p>The supplemental rules allow renewable energy companies in the development stage to list, easing the general 1-year operating requirement and, thus, &quot;creating a more accessible&quot; investing environment, said Securities and Exchange Commission chairman and CEO Emilio Aquino.</p><p>&quot;Funding for greenfield projects is what the country needs... We wanted to find out if the market was willing to bet for projects that are in development,&quot; SPNEC Chairman, president and CEO Leandro Leviste said.</p><p>He said 95 percent of the &quot;solar of the future&quot; is in the pre-operating stage. The Philippines needs over 20x more solar than what it has today to reach the Department of Energy&#x27;s goal, he said. </p><p>Proceeds from the IPO will be used for land acquisitions and to partially fund its ambitious solar project in Nueva Ecija, SPNEC said.</p><p>&quot;If the capital market can enable SPNEC&#x27;s first 50 MW and if SPNEC delivers, then so can the capital markets, foreseeably enable the next 500 MW and even 5,000 MW,&quot; he said.</p><p>&quot;Based on this IPO, we hope it can be said that the capital markets have spoken and that capital should not be the constraint for our country&#x27;s transition to renewable energy as long as companies deliver,&quot; he added.</p><p>SPNEC earlier said it has raised P5.3 billion in orders for its initial P2.7 billion offer. </p><p>The company plans to develop the &quot;largest&quot; solar project in Southeast Asia.</p><div><script src="https://connect.facebook.net/en_US/sdk.js#xfbml=1&amp;version=v2.5" async="" type="text/javascript"></script></div><div class="fb-post" data-href="https://www.facebook.com/watch/live/?ref=watch_permalink&amp;v=335162121444969" data-width="auto"> </div><ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/business/12/15/21/solar-philippines-says-set-for-dec-17-market-debut">Solar Philippines says set for Dec. 17 market debut, IPO 2x oversubscribed</a></li></ul><div><strong>RELATED VIDEO: </strong></div><figure class="op-interactive"><iframe allow="autoplay; fullscreen" frameBorder="0" height="100%" id="ivsplayer01" scrolling="no" src="https://player.ivideosmart.com/ivsplayer/v4/dist/html/iframe-src.html?iframeid=ivsplayer01&amp;key=e8c22c015ca9eafa76f1e3edfa03c603&amp;spid=3001339&amp;vid=1832625" width="100%"></iframe></figure><div class="iwantbar">Watch more in <a href="//www.iwantv.com.ph/">iWantv</a> or <a href="//tfc.tv/">TFC.tv</a></div>
