ACEN Corp. through its retail supply unit, ACEN Renewable Energy Solutions (ACEN RES) has partnered with PLDT Inc. for the latter’s 33 facilities in Greater Metro Manila to use 100 percent renewable energy (RE).
Under the partnership, PLDT will leverage on ACEN RES’ portfolio of solar, and geothermal power solutions to strengthen operational efficiency and reduce dependency on electricity from fossil fuel and non-renewable sources.
One of the facilities transitioning to RE is the PLDT-Smart Integrated Operations Center in Makati City, a 24/7 command center.
“This supply agreement with ACEN RES expands and diversifies renewables in the energy mix of our key facilities. Our continuous transition to RE supports the direction to make our PLDT facilities eco-efficient and future-ready,” said Leo Gonzales, PLDT vice president and sector head for property and facilities, in a statement.
The agreement is expected to generate savings in energy and operating costs for PLDT, as well as support its continuing groupwide decarbonization roadmap with an estimated reduction of almost 21,000 tons of carbon emissions annually.
