EPI powers MECO with clean energy from solar plants

Emerging Power Inc. (EPI), the renewable energy subsidiary of Nickel Asia Corp., has partnered with Mabuhay Energy Corp. (MECO), a licensed retail energy supplier (RES) under the Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC), for clean electricity supply.

EPI’s subsidiaries—Jobin SQM, Inc. (JSI) and Northern Palawan Power Generation Corporation—will provide MECO with a portion of the power generated from two major solar projects: the 72.128-megawatt peak (MWp) Subic New PV Power Plant and the upcoming 70-MWp Cawag Solar Power Plant (Phase 1).

EPI, through JSI, currently owns and operates two solar facilities in Subic, Zambales, and is actively developing the Cawag Solar Power Plant, along with other renewable energy projects nationwide.

“We are honored to have been chosen by MECO as a partner in expanding their business of delivering clean and sustainable energy to their RES customers,” EPI President and CEO Roy Joseph S. Fernandez said on Monday.

“Through our expanding solar portfolio, which includes the Subic and Cawag power plants, we steadfastly aim to contribute to the Philippines’ renewable energy goals which should help enhance the country’s energy security in the near term.”

MECO, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Aviva Group of Companies, has been offering innovative and customizable energy solutions since 2017. It has gained market trust by delivering competitive, reliable, and sustainable energy solutions.

Through renewable sources like EPI’s solar power plants, MECO continues to expand its reach and promote an eco-friendly energy future.
