MSpectrum Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Manila Electric Co., teamed up with Operation Brotherhood Montessori Center to put up a solar power project in its Quezon City campus.
Spectrum will install a 99-kilowattpeak solar photovoltaic system in OB Montessori Fairview, allowing the educational institution to generate about 132,000 kilowatt-hours of clean energy annually.
This is expected to translate into annual savings of close to P900,000 a year.
“Meralco, our parent company, and OB Montessori both share the steadfast commitment to sustainability and nation-building, making this partnership more promising,” Spectrum chief operating officer Patrick Henry Panlilio said.
“Through Spectrum’s energy expertise and end-to-end solar solutions, OB Montessori is assured to receive not just excellent and reliable service but also the necessary strong support that they will need as they transition to clean energy to further advance their existing sustainability practices,” Panlilio said.
The project marks OB Montessori’s gradual shift to clean energy and signifies its commitment to sustainability by going beyond its array of environmental stewardship activities such as tree planting, coastal clean-ups and going paperless.
