MSpectrum, Inc., a wholly owned solar subsidiary of the Manuel V. Pangilinan-led Manila Electric Company (Meralco), has energized a new solar rooftop facility for General Trias Water Corporation (GTWC).

The P2.5-million project involves a 33 kilowatt-peak (kWp) solar facility to energize GTWC’s water pump in Cavite that is designed to generate around 45,350 kWh of clean energy annually. GTWC is the first in the area to power its water pumps with solar panels in line with its sustainability goals.

“We proudly celebrate the ceremonial turnover of the 33-kWp solar power generating system that will help GTWC achieve their sustainability goals and realize the savings from their electricity bill, MSpectrum Chief Operating Officer Patrick T. Panlilio said.

Through this facility, GTWC will be able to reduce its carbon footprint by an estimated 32.3 metric tons, translating to more than 1,400 trees planted and more than 79,000 kilometers reduced in vehicle travel per year. The project will also allow GTWC to generate energy savings with the operation of the solar project.

“We are one with Meralco in protecting the environment against carbon emissions,GTWC President Domingo R. Semaña said.

A water utility in Cavite since 1995, GTWC serves General Trias City, and the municipalities of Naic and Alfonso. It also serves some areas in Laguna, Batangas and Bulacan.

The solar rooftop facility marks the beginning of a strategic and long-term partnership between One Meralco Group and GTWC.

“We are grateful for the trust given to us and the opportunity to be GTWC's partner in achieving its sustainability goals. As its business continues to grow, One Meralco Group will continue to extend support through our suite of energy services and innovative solutions,” said Meralco Senior Assistant Vice President and Biz Head Robert S. Galang, PEE, ACPE.

With its eight years in the industry, MSpectrum has already installed more than 80 megawatts (MW) of solar rooftop project, estimated to power around 40,000 households.
