By transitioning these facilities to renewable energy, PLDT and Smart expect to save approximately PHP 23 million (around USD 407,000) in energy and operational costs annually.
This initiative is also projected to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by almost 13,000 tons per year.
This move aligns with PLDT and Smart’s decarbonization roadmap to reduce Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 40% by 2030, based on a 2019 baseline.
Their previous partnership with First Gen utilized geothermal energy sources for network facilities in Cebu, Samar, Capiz, and Iloilo.
