Landco Pacific Corp. announced that its Calatagan South Beach (CaSoBe) resort in Batangas secured a supply agreement with ACEN Renewable Energy Solutions to transition its entire operations to 100-percent renewable energy.
The agreement was facilitated through the Department of Energy’s Green Energy Option Program (GEOP) and positions the resort as a leader in environmentally responsible leisure development in the Philippines.
ACEN RES, the retail electricity supply arm of the Ayala group, leads the GEOP market with a 57-percent market share, according to the latest Competitive Retail Electricity Market report from the Energy Regulatory Commission.
The partnership allows CaSoBe to reduce its carbon footprint while maintaining its expansive leisure and residential offerings along the Batangas coast.
“This transition to 100 percent renewable energy is a significant milestone for CaSoBe and aligns perfectly with our commitment to environmental stewardship,” said Erickson Manzano, president and chief executive of Landco Pacific.
Manzano said that by teaming up with ACEN RES, the resort is ensuring a greener operation and offering guests a sustainable leisure experience.
To mark the transition, ACEN RES presented CaSoBe with its “Powered by Renewable Energy” badge.
ACEN RES vice president and head of account management Sheila Mina said the commitment reflects a growing awareness among major leisure destinations to embrace sustainability.
The proprietary badge was introduced in 2022 to encourage businesses to switch to clean energy and is currently displayed at nearly 100 renewable energy-powered facilities across the country.
Managed by Landco Lifestyle Ventures, CaSoBe features modern resort amenities and hotel accommodations including Crusoe Cabins, Apollo Aeropods and Cupola.
The master-planned development is designed to promote a lifestyle centered on wellness and environmental preservation.
