(14 March 2025, Aurora) - The Aurora Pacific Economic Zone and Freeport Authority (APECO) continues to prioritize investor-friendly initiatives that reinforce its ease-of-access policy to pioneering investors within the economic zone. APECO President and Chief Executive Officer Atty. Gil G. Taway IV met with the Aurora Electric Cooperative, Inc. (AURELCO) General Manager Ms. Mary Jaycee Lu Rubio to facilitate a crucial energy agreement with its prospective renewable energy investor, Pacific Impact Development Corporation (PIDC). This collaboration marks a significant step that will allow PIDC’s planned 16-Megawatt Solar Farm project to proceed, which will enhance the energy reliability in the region and support APECO’s push for industry development.
By actively coordinating with AURELCO and key stakeholders, APECO ensures that locators benefit from streamlined processes, community readiness, and local support. This proactive approach, which APECO is making its identity, solidifies the agency’s reputation as an investor-friendly hub where businesses can confidently establish and expand operations with the full support and assistance of the economic zone.
Beyond energy security, APECO remains dedicated to enhancing its overall business ecosystem through infrastructure development, policy incentives, and investor assistance programs. From fast-tracked permits to modernized facilities, the ecozone is designed to provide locators with a seamless entry and long-term growth opportunities. As APECO continues to attract new investments, projects like that of Pacific Impact’s energy project reaffirm its vision of a progressive, sustainable, and business-ready economic hub.
