In a push for sustainability, First Gen Corporation has called on hotels in the Philippines to adopt renewable energy (RE) sources and energy efficiency practices to significantly reduce electricity costs and carbon footprints.
Speaking at the recent Hospitality Philippines Conference, vice president Carlo Vega said that hotels, major consumers of electricity for essential services like air conditioning and water heating, can benefit from the Department of Energy’s (DOE) supportive regulations for renewable energy and energy efficiency.
Vega pointed out that these measures could help hotels lower their utility expenses, which often account for over half of their operating costs. He emphasized the potential of DOE programs, including the Green Energy Option program and the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Act, as tools for collaboration with First Gen to help businesses cut costs and emissions.
With a leading position in clean energy generation, First Gen boasts a total capacity of 3,668 megawatts, including 1,651 megawatts from renewable sources such as solar, wind, hydro, and geothermal. The company aims to transition from a traditional power generator to a clean energy advisor, providing innovative solutions to the hospitality sector and beyond.
