The Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA) has signed agreements with
Blue Vista Berhad, Westfield Resources LLC, and ComClark Network and Technology Corp.
(the parent company of fiber broadband player Converge ICT Solutions Inc.) to assess a
proposed 40-megawatt liquefied natural gas (LNG)-fired power plant and an underground
ICT network in New Clark City, as it prepares the site for future investments and business
growth.

“Reliable power and digital connectivity are essential to New Clark City’s development. We
need to assess these requirements early and work with partners who can help us
determine the most viable solutions,” BCDA President and Chief Executive Officer Joshua M.
Bingcang said.

Under the first MOU, BCDA, Blue Vista, and Westfield will evaluate the proposed LNG-fired
facility’s technical and commercial feasibility, potential grid connections, LNG supply and
logistics, financing, and environmental and regulatory requirements.

“This pioneering project will not only secure reliable power independently of the main grid,
but will also serve as a showcase solution for the wider Philippine power landscape,”
Westfield Resources LLC President and CEO Neil Gonzales said. “The mission is to lower the
power cost, to produce cleaner energy, and to replace dirty emissive diesel engines with
much cleaner LNG natural gas fuel.”

The assessment will determine whether the facility could meet part of New Clark City’s
future power needs as development progresses and businesses establish operations in the
area.

In a separate MOU, BCDA and ComClark will explore a common underground ICT passive
infrastructure network for New Clark City locators and future developments. The parties
will assess the project’s technical and financial feasibility. BCDA will provide relevant
planning information and facilitate access for technical studies, subject to applicable
requirements, while ComClark will conduct the necessary surveys and assessments.

“Our vision was to lay down the digital infrastructure of tomorrow, and we are proud to say
it is fully ready today. High-speed fiber is the essential bedrock for AI deployments, making
economic hubs incredibly attractive to global innovators. We are excited to partner with
BCDA to connect hundreds of locators in New Clark City, ensuring government offices, data
centers, and manufacturing facilities have the powerful connectivity they need right now,”
ComClark Network and Technology Corporation President and Chief Executive Officer
Dennis Anthony Uy said.

The agreements support BCDA’s efforts to plan New Clark City’s infrastructure and engage
potential development partners as the site grows. They also contribute to the government’s
broader priorities of attracting investments, creating jobs, strengthening regional
development, and building resilient and future-ready communities.

Located in Tarlac, New Clark City is envisioned as a smart, sustainable, and
disaster-resilient urban center within the Luzon Economic Corridor. Reliable power and
digital infrastructure will support business operations, investment, and economic activity
in the area, while helping advance the government’s goal of developing competitive growth
centers outside Metro Manila.

The initiatives are aligned with President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.’s agenda to promote
sustainable infrastructure, strengthen energy security, advance digital connectivity, and
drive inclusive economic growth. They also support the administration’s efforts to develop
competitive growth centers, attract investments, create jobs, and build resilient and
future-ready communities.

Both MOUs establish exploratory frameworks. Any implementation will depend on the
assessment results, applicable laws and regulations, and further agreements between the
parties.
