MANILA, Philippines—Publicly listed Greenergy Holdings Inc. has sold its 60-percent stake in renewable energy developer Biomass Holdings Inc. for P400 million.


In a disclosure to the Philippine Stock Exchange on Thursday, Greenergy reported that its equity interest in Biomass Holdings would be acquired by ThomasLloyd Cleantech Infrastructure Fund (formerly Cleantech Projektgesellschaft MBH) or the latter’s designee.
