FIRST Gen Corp. has been tapped by Arthaland Corp. for an additional supply of electricity from a renewable energy source to power the latter’s Savya Financial Center project in Taguig City.
Arthaland said the agreement with First Gen is part of its commitment to shift to clean and renewable energy sources for all electricity requirements of its entire real estate portfolio by 2030 to achieve a Net Zero goal.
Arthaland’s 18-story Savya Financial Center was inaugurated in 2022 and equipped with features such as energy-efficient lighting and air conditioning, double-glazed low-emissivity glass, low-flow plumbing fixtures and a rainwater harvesting and recycling system.
The company said such features allow the building to save up to 40 percent on electricity and water consumption but did not provide further details especially on the new partnership with First Gen.
“We envision the Savya Financial Center as a safe, healthy, and more productive working environment for all its occupants. We made every effort to ensure we source 100 percent renewable energy to decarbonize the building’s operations to provide a positive impact on people and the planet,” said Oliver Chan, Arthaland senior vice president for sales operations, leasing and project marketing and chief sustainability officer, in a statement.
Prior to this partnership, the Savya Financial Center has been pre-certified for various certifications for being a green and resource efficient building.
First Gen and Arthaland first partnered in 2019 when they had an agreement for the RE supply of the Arthaland Century Pacific Tower also located in Taguig City.
