Manila Electric Company’s (MERALCO) subsidiary, MSpectrum, Inc., has launched a new solar rooftop facility for General Trias Water Corporation (GTWC).
“We proudly celebrate the ceremonial turnover of the 33-kWp solar power generating system that will help GTWC achieve their sustainability goals and realize the savings from their electricity bill,” said MSpectrum Chief Operating Officer Patrick T. Panlilio.
GTWC has invested approximately Php 2.5 million in its 33-kilowatt-peak (kWp) solar facility to power its water pump in Cavite. This sustainable initiative is projected to generate 45,350 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of clean energy annually, significantly reducing reliance on conventional power sources.
The solar facility is set to cut GTWC’s carbon footprint by about 32.3 metric tons each year, which is comparable to planting over 1,400 trees or eliminating more than 79,000 kilometers of vehicle travel.
The project also aims to generate substantial cost savings in energy consumption, underscoring its dual impact on sustainability and operational efficiency.
“We are grateful for the trust given to us and the opportunity to be GTWC’s partner in achieving its sustainability goals. As its business continues to grow, One Meralco Group will continue to extend support through our suite of energy services and innovative solutions,” said MERALCO Senior Assistant Vice President and Biz Head Robert S. Galang.
GTWC has been supplying Cavite since 1995, encompassing General Trias City as well as municipalities of Alfonso and Naic. The company also extended its services to select areas in Laguna, Batangas, and Bulacan.
Over its eight years in operation, MSpectrum has achieved the installation of more than 80 megawatts (MW) of solar rooftop systems, contributing to cleaner energy access for nearly 40,000 homes.
As solar firms increasingly expand their presence across various sectors, including partnerships with companies like GTWC, could this momentum lead to a more stable energy supply and help mitigate the economic disruptions caused by frequent power outages?
