Vista Malls, All Home branches in Luzon running on solar
‘Approximately 11,315 solar panels are installed in all 14 stores in Luzon with an average capacity of 432-kilowatt peak of total power from the solar panels, saving an average of 10 to 15 percent of the electricity costs in each branch.’
Powered by PAVI Green Renewable Energy Inc., the renewable energy arm of Prime Assets Ventures Inc., all Vista Malls and All Home branches across the island of Luzon are now running on solar power.
Approximately 11,315 solar panels are installed in all 14 stores in Luzon with an average capacity of 432-kilowatt peak of total power from the solar panels, saving an average of 10 to 15 percent of the electricity costs in each branch.
The solar panels are currently energizing Vista Mall branches in Sta. Rosa, Laguna; Tanza and Dasmariñas, Cavite; Bataan and Pampanga; as well as Starmall San Jose del Monte, Bulacan.
Meanwhile, All Home branches in Imus and Kawit, Cavite; Antipolo, Rizal; as well as San Ildefonso, Bulacan; Cabanatuan in Nueva Ecija, and Santiago and Cauayan in the province of Isabela are likewise solar-energized.
Planting of 22,526 trees
Generating an average of 467,647.41 kilowatt-hours per month of energy from rooftop solar panels in all Vista Malls and All Home Luzon branches, the initiative is expected to reduce carbon emissions by 3.75 million kilograms per year, equivalent to planting 22,526 trees.
"Sustainable energy is the future, and we hope to significantly contribute to the renewable energy targets in the country through these kinds of commercial partnerships," Vista Land and Lifescapes Inc. president and CEO Paolo Villar said.
