Globe Telecom Inc. is accelerating its shift to renewable energy (RE), with plans to expand the number of sites powered by clean energy beyond the 171 sites already energized as of October.

“This year, we are broadening our scope. We have energized 171 sites as of October through the Retail Aggregation Program, a dramatic increase from the 29 sites in 2024,” Globe chief financial officer Carlo Puno said during a summit on Tuesday.

Scale up RE footprint

Puno said the company will continue scaling up its renewable energy footprint through Power Purchase Agreements, on-site solar installations, and the Retail Aggregation Program.

Programs, such as the Green Energy Option Program and Retail Competition and Open Access, have already helped cut electricity costs by around 10 percent, reduce reliance on imported fossil fuels, and strengthen operational stability.

Globe is also transitioning over 3,000 cell sites and other low-energy facilities in Metro Manila and Region IV-A to renewable energy, with the shift expected to finish by 2028.

The company follows a science-based plan to cut Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 42 percent and Scope 3 emissions by 25 percent by 2030, aiming to reduce total emissions by 90 percent by 2050.
