MPower reboots Araneta supply deal 

MPower has renewed its contract to supply electricity to key properties of the Araneta Group, including ACI Inc.’s buildings and the newly opened ibis Styles Manila. 

The company said Thursday the partnership, now strengthened with a new agreement, enables the company to explore “new avenues for growth.”

“The enduring partnership and trust given to us in powering Araneta City inspire MPower to continuously explore new avenues for growth and innovation, ensuring we deliver even greater value to our partners,” Meralco first vice president and MPower head Redel Domingo said. 

ACI has been a partner of MPower since it began operations in 2013, while Araneta Hotels first engaged MPower as a supplier in 2018. 

Most of the Araneta Group’s properties now use MPower’s services under the Competitive Retail Electricity Market, which allows businesses with at least 500 kW electricity demand to choose their power supplier.  

Efficiency ensured

“The Araneta Group is committed to excellent customer service and operational efficiency.  Our long-time partnership with MPower secures a reliable energy supply across our multiple properties, allowing us to deliver the highest level of service to our guests,” Novotel and ibis Styles Manila Cluster General Manager Maria Manlulu-Garcia said. 

Under the government’s Retail Competition and Open Access program, eligible power consumers whose monthly average peak demand reaches at least 500 kilowatts can choose their electricity suppliers.
