Cebu-based Treasure Island Industrial Corp. (TIIC) has expanded the capacity of its rooftop solar plant in partnership with Vivant Energy Corp. subsidiary Corenergy.
TIIC increased its solar generation capacity by 729.3 kilowatts (kW), transforming approximately 11,000 square meters of roof space of its packaging division iPak, in Tingub, Mandaue City.
The parties said the additional solar generation capacity at iPak enables TIIC to prevent the emission of 527 metric tons of carbon dioxide annually which is also equivalent to what 12,100 trees can sequester yearly.
In 2019, iPak completed the first phase of its rooftop solar project with the installation of a 1,345-kW system which was also supplied by Corenergy.
iPak now has a total generation capacity of 2,074 kW from its solar rooftop, equivalent to about 35 percent of the facility’s energy demand.
iPak manufactures flexible plastic packaging.
