I Squared Capital is planning an additional $1 billion investment in the Philippines’ energy, transport, and digital infrastructure.
The Office of the Special Assistant to the President for Investment and Economic Affairs (OSAPIEA) said I Squared Capital revealed its plans for additional investments in the country after a recent high-level meeting with President Marcos in the US.
The Miami, Florida-based company has already invested more than $1 billion in the Philippines and its new funds will be placed in energy transition, transport and logistics, and digital infrastructure.
I Squared Capital is engaged in building infrastructure projects that provide critical services worldwide.
Sadek Wahba, I Squared Capital chairman and managing partner, said: “This partnership underscores the Marcos administration’s commitment to harnessing private capital to meet the Philippines’ long-term infrastructure needs while enhancing national competitiveness, resilience and sustainability.”
Wahba noted that the Philippines is already considered among the top destinations in the Indo-Pacific region for infrastructure investments.
Frederick Go, SAPIEA chief, said: “These investments will improve lives – from powering homes and businesses with renewables, to ensuring safer food through modern cold storage and connecting people and enterprises in the digital age. This is an investment in our people and their future.”
Thus far, I Squared Capital has invested in seven initiatives that support the Philippines’ development goals, namely modular power through Aggreko Philippines; utility-scale renewables through HEXA Renewables; rooftop solar solutions through Berde Renewables; cold storage through Royale Cold Storage; fuel logistics through Philippine Coastal Storage & Pipeline Corp.; broadband connectivity through HGC; and data centers through BDx.
Wahba also said that their investments in the country deliver energy security, food resilience and digital connectivity — “building the foundation for inclusive economic growth and long-term prosperity.”
