Pasig City Commits To 100% Renewable Energy Through Deal With ACEN Renewable Energy Solutions

Pasig City has taken a major step toward sustainability by signing a long-term agreement with ACEN Renewable Energy Solutions to shift its electricity supply entirely to renewable sources. The partnership was formalized under the Green Energy Option Program, a government initiative that allows large electricity users to choose clean energy over conventional fossil fuel-based power.

Under the agreement, ACEN will supply renewable electricity to several government buildings and public facilities across the city. This transition means that Pasig’s local government operations will now rely on clean energy generated from sources such as solar, wind, and geothermal power instead of coal or natural gas. The move is expected to significantly cut the city’s carbon emissions while supporting the Philippines’ broader efforts to expand its renewable energy share.

City officials highlighted that the initiative goes beyond environmental benefits. It also reflects Pasig’s commitment to leading by example in urban sustainability. By becoming one of the few local government units in the country to adopt 100 percent renewable energy for its operations, Pasig City is setting a benchmark for other cities to follow. Officials added that the shift will also help provide more stable electricity costs, reducing exposure to fluctuations linked to imported fossil fuels.

For ACEN, the deal strengthens its position as a key player in the renewable energy sector in the Philippines. As part of the Ayala Group, the company has been rapidly expanding its clean energy portfolio across the region. This partnership demonstrates the increasing demand for renewable energy not only from private companies but also from public institutions.

The initiative reflects a growing awareness of climate challenges and the need for local governments to take concrete action. By transitioning to renewable energy, Pasig City moves closer to its goal of becoming a greener and more resilient urban center. The collaboration is expected to encourage similar efforts across other cities in the Philippines, showing that large urban areas can successfully adopt sustainable energy solutions.
