IN November 2022, with great fanfare, officials from the Asian Development Bank (ADB) and the Indonesian government signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to launch the Energy Transition Mechanism (ETM). The ETM is a financing model developed by ADB to help heavily coal-dependent countries in Asia transition to cleaner sources of energy by facilitating the early retirement of coal-fired generation plants. Indonesia and the Philippines were designated the pilot countries for the program, with Indonesia being the first to launch the ADB-supported ETM.

However, the Philippines actually beat them to it: about a week before the signing of the MoU in Jakarta, Ayala's ACEN announced it had divested its South Luzon Thermal Energy Corp. holdings in a deal similar to the model under the ADB's ETM but organized privately.

owns the 2 x 135-megawatt coal-generating plant in Calaca, Batangas, and the end result of the complicated transaction is that the facility can be retired in 2040, 15 years sooner than previously planned.
