Luzon, Mindanao power supply to remain stable

LUZON and Mindanao are expected to enjoy stable power conditions next year, though the Visayas could be developing an excessive dependence on the other two island grids, according to the Independent Electricity Market Operator of the Philippines (IEMOP).

In a briefing on Thursday, Isidro E. Cacho, Jr., IEMOP vice-president for trading operations, said: “When it comes to the Visayas, we’re seeing an issue because it’s now becoming dependent on Luzon and Mindanao.”

The national grid has become unified following the start of full commercial operations at the Mindanao-Visayas Interconnection Project last year. This allowed power sharing across the Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao grids.

Mr. Cacho said that any forced outages on Luzon and Mindanao could affect power supply in the Visayas.

“The Visayas is a net importer of power from Luzon and Mindanao, so when the interconnections from Mindanao and Luzon are limited, power plants end up setting higher prices in the Visayas,” Mr. Cacho said.

For next year’s dry season, Mr. Cacho said prices on the Wholesale Electricity Spot Market (WESM) could range from P5-6 per kilowatt-hour (kWh) on Luzon and P4-5 per kWh in Mindanao.

WESM prices in the Visayas, on the other hand, could range between P6 and P7 per kWh.

Mr. Cacho said that the Department of Energy’s Grid Operation and Maintenance Program has scheduled plant maintenance in the first, third, and fourth quarters of 2026.

Planned outages are not allowed in the second quarter, during the year’s hottest months.

IEMOP operates the WESM, where energy companies can buy power if their long-term contracted power deals prove inadequate for their needs.

Last month, the average power rate in the WESM declined 12.4% to P3.98 per kWh in November. — Sheldeen Joy Talavera

Solana Treasury Stocks: Why Are These Companies Buying Up SOL?

Solana Treasury Stocks: Why Are These Companies Buying Up SOL?

The post Solana Treasury Stocks: Why Are These Companies Buying Up SOL? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. In 2020, everyone watched Strategy (called Microstrategy back then) scoop up Bitcoin and turn corporate crypto treasuries into a mainstream story. Now, a new wave is forming. And it’s centered on Solana. Dozens of companies are holding SOL as a bet on price. Except they’re not just holding. They’re building what’s being called Solana treasuries or Digital Asset Treasuries (DATs). These aren’t passive vaults. They’re active strategies that stake, earn yield, and tie into the fast-growing Solana ecosystem. Forward Industries, a Nasdaq-listed firm, recently bought more than 6.8 million SOL, making it the world’s largest Solana treasury company. Others like Helius Medical, Upexi, and DeFi Development are following a similar playbook, turning SOL into a centerpiece of their balance sheets. The trend is clear: Solana treasury stocks are emerging as a new class of crypto-exposed equities. And for investors, the question isn’t just who’s buying but why this strategy is spreading so fast. Key highlights: Solana treasuries (DATs) are corporate reserves of SOL designed to earn yield through staking and DeFi. Companies like Forward Industries, Helius Medical, Upexi, and DeFi Development Corp now hold millions of SOL. Public firms collectively own 17.1M SOL (≈$4B), which makes Solana one of the most adopted treasuries. Unlike Bitcoin treasuries, Solana holdings generate 6–8% annual rewards. It makes reserves into productive assets Solana treasury stocks are emerging as a new way for investors to gain indirect exposure to SOL. Risks remain: volatility, regulation, and concentrated holdings. But corporate adoption is growing fast. What is a Solana treasury (DAT)? A Solana treasury, sometimes called a Digital Asset Treasury (DAT), is when a company holds SOL as part of its balance sheet. But unlike Bitcoin treasuries, these usually aren’t just static reserves sitting in cold storage.  The key difference is productivity. SOL can be staked directly…
