Manila Electric Co. (Meralco) subsidiary Spectrum has collaborated with perfume label Aficionado and Japanese food house Takoyatea for a new solar rooftop project.
Under the partnership, Spectrum will install solar photovoltaic systems with a collective capacity of 89.82-kilowatt peak (kWp) in four sites including Takoyatea’s commissary and Aficionado’s main office in Sampaloc, Manila as well as in its manufacturing plant and warehouse in Meycauayan, Bulacan.
Spectrum said the project is expected to translate to around P951,000 in annual savings and will help the two brands reduce their carbon footprint by 87.34 tons equivalent to planting 4,020 trees or reducing nearly 348,000 kilometers in car travel.
However, the parties did not disclose the investment cost of the project.
Last year, Spectrum completed a 12.74 kWp solar project for the Takoyatea commissary in Manila that generated P99,000 in savings and reduced the firm’s carbon emissions by about six tons from June 2022 to January 2023.
