Manila Water inaugurates 2.5 MW solar plant

Manila Water inaugurated a 2.5-megawatt (MWp) solar power plant across three key locations in Quezon City on February 18, 2025.

The inauguration ceremony was attended by Department of Energy Assistant Secretary Mylene Capongcol and Manila Water President Jocot de Dios, who emphasized the company's goal to quadruple its use of renewable energy.

These installations at the Cardona Water Treatment Plant, East La Mesa WTP, and San Juan Compound are expected to generate an estimated 3.6 million kWh/year and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 2,576 tons annually through a partnership with Ditrolic Energy.

Manila Water aims to achieve a portfolio of 30 MWp in solar installations as part of its commitment to sustainable operations and reducing costs.

The project aligns with the Department of Energy's advocacy for renewable energy and supports Manila Water's objectives of increasing energy efficiency and lowering carbon impact.

Through this initiative, Manila Water demonstrates its long-term commitment to integrating clean energy into its water supply operations while promoting sustainability and cost-effectiveness.
