West zone concessionaire Maynilad Water Services Inc. raised the use of renewable energy in its operations by 15 percent through its partnership with MPower, the local retail supply arm of Meralco.
Maynilad president and chief executive Ramoncito Fernandez said the initiative reflected the company’s dedication to environmental stewardship and responsibility to future generations.
“At Maynilad, we are committed to sustainable practices and reducing our carbon footprint. Increasing our use of renewable energy by 15 percent is a significant step towards our goal of carbon neutrality by 2037,” he said.
Under the partnership, MPower will supply renewable energy from solar and biomass sources to run nine Maynilad facilities, particularly the water treatments plants at La Mesa Compound in Quezon City and in Barangay Putatan in Muntinlupa and the pumping stations in Pasay, Las Piñas, Quezon City and Parañaque.
