“The transaction is aligned with Vivant Energy initiatives to focus on its core competencies as it concentrates on its investment initiatives on its retail energy supply (RES) and Small Power Utilities Group (SPUG) businesses,” it said.

SPUG, operated by the National Power Corp., provides electricity to areas not linked to the transmission grid.

It was a reference to the notorious “behest loans” granted to individuals or corporations favored by powerful government officials.

James Buskowitz, president and CEO of Buskowitz Energy, said last year this decision was “rooted in mutual respect and a shared vision for a sustainable future.”

Although VREC will no longer hold shares in Buskowitz Energy, it had said it won’t be severing its ties with the Singapore-based entity as it remained a potential partner in pursuing solar projects.

Buskowitz Energy is a solar development, engineering, procurement, and construction company that offers solar power purchase agreements, leases and solar loans for companies and individuals to help them switch to renewable energy solutions.

On the other hand, VREC, the holding company for the energy-related investments of Vivant, was poised to meet its target capacity of 70 percent conventional and 30 percent renewable by 2030.
