The OB Montessori Center is shifting to renewable energy by partnering with Spectrum for a 99-kilowatt peak solar power project in Quezon City.
A unit of Manila Electric Company, Spectrum said in a statement that a deal for the solar rooftop project in the school's Fairview campus had been inked.
Signing the agreement were Spectrum's chief operations officer Patrick Henry Panlilio, Meralco head of Biz Partners Joy Mendoza and OB Montessori president and CEO Sara Soliven de Guzman.
The project is expected to generate 132,000 kilowatt-hours of clean energy annually, translating to savings of nearly P900,000 every year, Spectrum said in a report of the Philippine News Agency.
It added that the installation of the solar rooftop will cut OB Montessori's carbon footprint by 94 tons, equivalent to planting over 4,300 trees or reducing around 232,200 miles in vehicle travel per year.
"Meralco, our parent company and OB Montessori both share the steadfast commitment to sustainability and nation-building, making this partnership more promising," Panlilio said.
"Through Spectrum's energy expertise and end-to-end solar solutions, OB Montessori is assured to receive not just excellent and reliable service but also the necessary strong support that they will need as they transition to clean energy to further advance their existing sustainability practices."
With the partnership, OB Montessori joins other international and local clients that have tapped Meralco and Spectrum for the installation of solar power facilities.
The Meralco unit said it offers tailor-fit solutions for industrial, commercial and residential customers that would like to shift to clean energy through solar power projects.
