MPower, the retail electricity arm of Manila Electric Company (Meralco), has partnered with the First Cavite Industrial Estate Association Inc. (FCIE) to energize its facilities and enroll the industrial park in the Retail Aggregation Program (RAP).
The 150-hectare FCIE became one of the first mixed-use developments in the Philippines to consolidate multiple accounts into a single aggregated portfolio under RAP, enhancing power sourcing efficiency and cost management. RAP, an initiative of the Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) under the Customer Choice Program, allows users in the same franchise area to combine electricity demand as a single contestable customer, providing access to competitive pricing and flexible energy options.
FCIE president Micaela Laila Flores highlighted the partnership as a strategic move toward sustainability and operational excellence in the industrial sector, emphasizing energy-efficient and responsible practices.
MPower head Redel Domingo noted that the collaboration sets a benchmark for energy management in the Philippines, supporting industries with reliable, cost-effective, and sustainable electricity solutions.
The partnership underscores a growing trend among industrial and commercial developments to embrace retail competition, with MPower continuing to promote customer choice, innovation, and dependable service through RAP.
