Razon-led Prime Electric's More, Negros Power, Bohol Light slash power rates
In a new release on Thursday, customers of Bohol Light would expect a 75-centavo rollback per kilowatt-hour (kWh) in their bills, which would translate to a P150 in savings for an average household consuming 200 kWh.
In Iloilo City, customers of More Electric and Power Corporation would enjoy a rate decrease of 61 centavos per kWh, resulting in an estimated P122 bill reduction for those who are consuming 200 kWh.
Meanwhile, customers in Central Negros would look forward to a 55-centavo per kWh cut, lowering the residential electricity rate from P11.69 to P11.14 per kWh.
For Central Negros households using 200 kWh monthly, this would mean a P110 in savings, according to PHI.
PHI said the total rate reduction for its three distribution utilities stood at P1.91, on the back of 'several favorable economic factors,' including lower costs in the Wholesale Electricity Spot Market and decreased transmission charges.
The rate reductions position the three utilities among the most affordable electricity providers in the Visayas region, according to the company.
Roel Castro, president and CEO of PHI, said that the company remains committed to delivering affordability and reliability, ensuring that every peso saved on electricity goes toward improving the lives of the communities they serve.
"Our goal is to pass these savings directly to consumers, helping families allocate funds toward essentials like food, education, and other vital needs," said Castro.
PHI said it continues to prioritize infrastructure upgrades, system loss reduction programs, and smart market participation strategies to sustain low rates while enhancing service quality. — Ted Cordero/BM, GMA Integrated News

KKR Bets On Sustainable Protein Demand With ProTen Investment In Australia
KKR & Co. Inc. (NYSE:KKR) has struck a deal on Wednesday to acquire ProTen Pty Limited, a major player in Australia's poultry farming infrastructure, from Aware Super, a leading Australian pension fund. The agreement marks a strategic move by KKR to further expand its investments in the agricultural sector. Founded in 2001, ProTen operates hundreds of poultry sheds across more than 60 farms, playing a crucial role in the country's poultry production and food supply will channel funds from its Asia Pacific Infrastructure Investors II Fund to execute the transaction, which is pending regulatory approval and expected to close later in the year. The acquisition is aimed at fueling the next phase of ProTen's expansion and maintaining its leadership in the protein supply space. Andrew Jennings, who heads KKR's infrastructure operations in Australia and New Zealand, said the deal offers exposure to a 'high-quality' agriculture platform backed by steady, long-term contracts. Jennings added that ProTen's strong positioning, coupled with the country's increasing appetite for sustainable and secure protein sources, makes it an attractive asset for growth. Aware Super, which has managed ProTen since 2018, helped broaden the business's national footprint and quadruple its property base. Jiren Zhou, infrastructure portfolio manager at Aware Super, said the fund's active management approach delivered strong outcomes for its 1.2 million members while reinforcing its global infrastructure portfolio, now valued above 20 billion Australian dollars ($13.14 billion). James Wentworth, ProTen's CEO, credited Aware Super's commitment and strategic investments for enabling significant customer growth. He emphasized that the company's operational structure and mission would remain unchanged under KKR's ownership as they continue delivering affordable, sustainable poultry to Australian consumers. The deal adds to KKR's growing footprint in the region, following investments in Zenith Energy, Queensland Airports Limited, Spark Infrastructure, and Ritchies Transport. Since 2019, the firm's Asia Pacific infrastructure division has scaled to manage around $13 billion in assets. According to Benzinga Pro, KKR stock has gained over 25% in the past year.

Jonathan David set to join Juventus on free transfer: What this means for Canada and the player
Canadian forward Jonathan David is set to join Juventus after leaving Lille at the end of last month. David is yet to undergo a medical with the Italian club but, pending that, he will join as a free agent. The 25-year-old announced in May he would be departing the club upon the conclusion of his contract this summer. Advertisement 'I want a club with ambition that wants to do something,' he then told The Athletic in June. 'Obviously, I would love to fight for titles, to win titles. A team that's competitive, that has ambition, really, with a good sporting project.' A move for David would see him become Juventus' first new arrival of the summer. Obligations in loan deals for Lloyd Kelly, Nico Gonzalez and Michele Di Gregorio have seen the trio join the club permanently this summer, while Juventus triggered their option to sign centre-back Pierre Kalulu on a permanent basis in early June. Premier League side Chelsea had held talks with the representatives of David about a potential transfer during the 2024 summer window. David joined Lille from Belgian side Gent in 2020 in a record deal for the French club. He helped Lille win the Ligue 1 title in 2020-2021, scoring 19 goals in 48 games. The Canada international registered 109 goals in 232 appearances for Lille, putting him second in the club's all-time top scorers list. He has scored 34 times in 63 appearances for Canada and was part of the side that reached the semi-finals of the 2024 Copa America. Juventus finished fourth in Serie A in 2024-25 as they failed to win a trophy for the third time in the last four seasons. Head coach Igor Tudor was appointed in March, replacing Thiago Motta, who only lasted nine months in the role. They reached the last 16 of the Club World Cup but were eliminated by Real Madrid after a 1-0 defeat. Analysis by Joshua Kloke After years of questions emerging over David's future, the player stayed patient. He dutifully answered questions in Canada camps about his club future, all the while never showing outward frustration or questions about how long the process of moving on from Lille was taking. Advertisement David knew what he wanted — a move to one of Europe's biggest clubs — and knew he could keep scoring enough to keep himself in the conversation. Ultimately, for David, this move is about solidifying himself among Europe's great forwards, once and for all. He scored almost at will for Lille. So much so that it became easy to ask whether he could continue scoring once he ascended to a more competitive league. David is betting on himself that he can. Given the variety of positions he can play in, his innate football smarts and his continued improvement season to season, it is a safe bet. David was attracted to Juventus because of the club's ambition and their desire not just to compete for Serie A titles every season, but also to compete in the Champions League as well. Winning regularly is what drives David, internally. Analysis by Joshua Kloke For a player who has long been a reserved character at least publicly, heading to a widely recognized club is an opportunity for David to grow his own brand and image. That's secondary to what he can accomplish on the field, no doubt. But with the World Cup less than a year away, David might not get a better opportunity to turn himself into a globally-recognized force as well. And don't kid yourself, this move will have a massive impact for David and Canada, too. He captained Canada through their Gold Cup run. It seemed like a strange choice at first, given David's reserved nature. But the man the national team started calling 'Capi' came out of his shell and took ownership over the team with Alphonso Davies and Stephen Eustaquio not available. It was a step towards becoming the household name in Canada that, three years ago, he said he wanted to become. Canada is as diverse and multicultural a country as there is. When the World Cup arrives next summer, people across Canada will be tuned into the national team with a sense of curiosity. Having a global brand like Juventus beside your name not only provides David instant credibility with neutral fans, it could turn Canadians with deep ties to the team and Italy itself onto Canada's national team in a new way. Advertisement Analysis by Joshua Kloke On the field, it is fair to be optimistic about what this means for David and Canada. More competitive teams and better defenders in Serie A and the Champions League should hone David as a scorer over the next year. And Canada need him to score. While they progressed to the semifinals of Copa America last year, they also did so by only scoring just two goals through the group stage and quarterfinal. Canada need to score much more to match their high-tempo style. Getting a confident and improved David as a result of playing among the world's best will be a boon to Canada in 2026. And it might end up making David Canada's most important player at the World Cup. He will have the freedom to play almost wherever he wants for Canada — as a second striker, a No 10, even out wide — as Jesse Marsch sees him one of the most intelligent players he has ever coached. If David can add more tools to his game in Serie A, Canada could have a much better chance of finally winning their first World Cup game. And, in a 48-team World Cup, possibly advancing to the knockout round.
