Globe became the first telco to leverage the Retail Aggregation Program (RAP) through its partnership with ACEN, expanding renewable power to over 3,000 cell sites and facilities across Greater Manila, Region 4-A and Central Luzon by 2028.

The milestone was celebrated at The Globe Tower, Bonifacio Global City, on 15 August 2025, led by Globe president and CEO Carl Cruz and ACEN president and CEO Eric Francia, with energy regulators and industry leaders in attendance.

Launched by the Energy Regulatory Commission, RAP lets smaller facilities like cell towers combine electricity accounts to access renewable energy at competitive rates. Globe piloted the program earlier this year, upgrading more than 70 sites to clean power.

The initiative builds on Globe’s renewable energy shift, which already transitioned 36 large facilities under the Retail Competition and Open Access (RCOA) and Green Energy Option Program (GEOP).

DoE Secretary Sharon Garin called the effort proof that “clean, competitive, and accessible energy is here.” ERC director Sharon Montaner added that Globe’s leadership shows climate action and growth can go hand in hand.

The initiative supports Globe’s SBTi-verified Net Zero roadmap.
