    First Gen to power Alabang properties with geothermal energy

    Leading renewable energy provider First Gen Corporation has signed a deal to supply geothermal power to two major properties in Filinvest City, Alabang.

    The company will provide 1,100 kilowatts (kW) of geothermal energy to Parkway Corporate Center and Bristol at Parkway Place, supporting their shift toward cleaner and more energy-efficient operations.

    The properties, both managed by Pro-Excel Property Managers, Inc., are located in Filinvest City, Alabang, Muntinlupa. The supply agreement was signed on February 19, 2026 by representatives of First Gen, Pro-Excel, Parkway Corporate Center Condominium Corporation, and Bristol Tower Condominium Corporation.

    The geothermal power will run all common areas of the two buildings, including lighting, elevators, water pumps, security cameras, air-conditioning systems, and fire detection systems.

    First Gen will source the renewable energy from its Bacon-Manito (Bac-Man) geothermal facilities located in Albay and Sorsogon.

    Michelle B. Lazatin, board presidebt of both condominium corporations, said the partnership strengthens their long-term energy strategy, improves cost efficiency, and reinforces their commitment to sustainable building operations.

    The 38-storey Bristol Tower is a premium residential development of Filigree, offering 345 units along Parkway Avenue near Festival Mall.

    Meanwhile, the 32-storey Parkway Corporate Center is the first office building project in the Philippines to achieve the latest version (v4) of the LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification for Core and Shell.

    Arlene Sy Soriano, First Gen head of sales and engagement, said the growing availability of geothermal power allows more LEED-certified and green buildings to operate on 24/7 renewable energy while minimizing carbon emissions. She also encouraged other property developers to explore programs that optimize and combine power usage.

    Aside from geothermal energy, First Gen’s renewable portfolio includes hydro, solar, and wind projects with a total capacity of 1,700 megawatts (MW).

    To help ensure stable energy supply, the company also holds a 40 percent stake in four gas-fired power plants with a combined capacity of 2,017 MW, in partnership with Prime Infrastructure Capital, Inc..

    The deal marks another step in advancing clean energy adoption among major commercial and residential developments in Alabang.
