Philippine Hydro, Inc.
Philippine Hydro, Inc. (“PhilHydro”) became a wholly owned subsidiary of Maynilad on 3 August 2012. Upon acquisition, the new management implemented major financial and operational improvements to boost supply availability and expansion in its served areas.
PhilHydro is engaged in waterworks construction, engineering, and engineering consulting services. It is currently undertaking water supply projects outside Metro Manila in line with Presidential Decree No. 198, otherwise known as the “Provincial Water Utilities Act of 1973”, which mandates local government units to create and operate local water utilities and provide potable water to the public.
It owns and operates four WTP that supply treated bulk water to the Legazpi City Water District in Albay, Norzagaray Water District, Santa Maria Water District in Bulacan, and, starting March 2017, Bocaue Water District in Bulacan; and municipal waterworks of Bambang, Nueva Vizcaya. PhilHydro also owns and operates the treated water supply and distribution system of Rizal, Nueva Ecija. All PhilHydro WTPs are under Public-Private Partnership (“PPP”) Contracts with the government, either directly contracting the Local Government Unit or with Government-Owned and Controlled Corporations, such as Water Districts. PhilHydro has a total plant capacity of 61 MLD.
PhilHydro’s billed volumes increased 4.0% to 49.3 MLD versus 47.4 MLD at the end of 2022, driven primarily by growths from NORWD and INC both of which have been performing exceedingly well since loosening of restrictions and resumption of events. Bulacan’s overall performance would have been better had the deterioration of SMWD’s filtration media been resolved sooner. Also lagging is the billed volume performance of operations in Bambang, Nueva Vizcaya due to Bambang Waterworks’ intensified mitigation of NRW on its distribution lines and service disconnection of nonpaying customers. As of 31 December 2023, PhilHydro generated revenues of ₱259 million while contribution to Maynilad after amortization of goodwill from acquisition was ₱64 million to core EBITDA.
The following sets forth a summary of PhilHydro’s contracts and service areas:
