Power retailer Manila Electric Co. (Meralco) on Tuesday reaffirmed its commitment to delivering “safe, adequate, reliable, sustainable, and quality service” to property developer Ayala Land Inc. (ALI).
The power distributor laid down plans to boost infrastructure support to ALI’s upcoming developments during a strategic business review session.
Meralco is set to build new substations within several Ayala Land developments particularly for Circuit Makati and Park links Estate facing Quezon City and Pasig City.
Meralco said this undertaking solidifies its strong partnership with ALI, which both aim to help bolster the economy.
“Meralco’s long-standing collaboration with Ayala Land resulted in many successful endeavours over the years. With the upcoming projects involving the construction of substations, Ayala Land will enable us to fulfil our commitment in helping our communities grow by providing reliable and adequate electric service to more customers,” said Meralco senior vice president and chief revenue officer Ferdinand Geluz.
The company has six existing substation facilities servicing ALI estates.
ALI consistently provides a substation lot provision for its developments, allowing Meralco to energize projects in an efficient and timely manner.
This is also aligned with the current administration’s priorities under its socio-economic agenda, particularly energy security and infrastructure development.
“We, at Meralco, keep our lines of communication open with our enterprise partners such as Ayala Land. This enables continuous improvement and innovation in empowering not only our commercial customers but also businesses that support communities and power our economy,” said Meralco executive vice president and chief operating officer Ronnie Aperocho.
Ayala Land president and chief executive Anna Ma. Margarita Dy said the company is very fortunate to sell the product on the strength of the brand.
“The truth is that promise comes with a lot of responsibility and for us to be able to carry this out, we need partners. I cannot overemphasize the importance of Meralco to our commitments to our customers – whether these are communities that are starting or communities that are already thriving,” Dy said.
