MSpectrum, Inc., a wholly owned solar subsidiary of the Manuel V. Pangilinan-led Manila Electric Company (Meralco), turned over a 120-kilowatt peak (kWp) solar rooftop project to DHL Supply Chain to power its training center in Sta. Rosa, Laguna.
The project is estimated to generate approximately 171,000 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of clean energy annually, enabling DHL to reduce its carbon footprint by an estimated 121 tons—equivalent to planting over 5,500 trees and eliminating more than 482,000 kilometers of vehicle travel each year.
“We are looking at building a few more sites powered by solar energy. It just makes so much sense, not just for this generation, but for future generations as well. We’ll continue to invest in solar panels, and we look forward to expanding and strengthening this partnership with MSpectrum,” DHL Country Managing Director Bevan Williams said.
Through this project, MSpectrum supports DHL’s energy efficiency efforts, reinforcing the logistics company’s commitment to sustainability as it expands its operations in the Philippines.
“As one of the largest and most respected logistics companies in the world, DHL’s commitment to innovation and sustainability is truly inspiring. It is a tremendous honor for us to be working alongside a global brand that shares our vision of a cleaner, greener future. This partnership is more than just a milestone—it is a meaningful step toward our shared vision of a future where solar rooftops are a common sight across the Philippines. With this project, we take one step closer to that future,” MSpectrum President and CEO Ma. Cecilia M. Domingo said.
This recent collaboration between MSpectrum and DHL marks a continuation of the growing partnership between Meralco and DHL, which began with the energization of the logistics company’s largest facility in Sta. Rosa, Laguna and was strengthened through Power Consult’s expert guidance on optimizing energy use.
“While DHL ensures the seamless movement of goods and keeps global supply chains running, Meralco delivers power that fuels your operations. Together, we drive progress and productivity that ripple far beyond our individual roles – creating opportunities and contributing to the development of a more resilient and inclusive nation,” Meralco First Vice President and Head Customer Retail Services Charina P. Padua said.
As an active nation-building partner, Meralco and its subsidiaries actively support the logistics sector with innovative solutions and empower stakeholders to further contribute to economic development.
