MANILA Electric Co. subsidiary MSpectrum has signed an agreement with brandy and whisky producer Emperador Inc. unit Emperador Distillers Inc. (EDI) for the installation of a 640- kilowatt peak solar facility.
MSpectrum said in a statement yesterday the project will be put up at EDI’s Sta. Rosa manufacturing plant in Laguna that is expected to generate approximately 832,798 kilowatt hour of clean energy annually.
The project will allow EDI to reduce its carbon footprint by an estimated 593.12 metric tons, translating to more than 27,242 trees planted and more than 2.36 million kilometers reduced in vehicle travel per year.
The project cost was not disclosed.
“The contract signing with MSpectrum is a continuation of the transformative journey of our business. Their solar rooftop installation will not only help us achieve our sustainability goals but also significantly reduce our electricity costs. We are excited about our partnership with MSpectrum as we continue to explore more solar solutions for our facilities to maximize our energy efficiency and continue our commitment to a greener future,” said Winston Co, EDI president and chief executive officer.
