Aperocho will lead the 30-man delegation from the company composed of key officers, executives and 15 technical paper presenters in the biennial international conference organized by the Association of the Electricity Supply Industry of East Asia and the Western Pacific, which will be hosted by the China Electricity Council.

"Meralco fully supports CEC in hosting this year's CEPSI. The upcoming conference is an effective venue for building stronger bridges of collaboration with fellow players in the power industry, and for exchanging technologies and ideas that will help develop effective energy solutions to deliver a sustainable-energy future," Aperocho said during the visit of CEC led by its secretary general Hao Yingjie at the Meralco headquarters in Pasig City on 18 September.
