Federal Land Inc. has shifted four residential developments in its Met Park township in Pasay City to 100% renewable energy under a multi-year supply agreement with ACEN Renewable Energy Solutions (ACEN RES), marking another step in the growing adoption of clean electricity by Philippine property developers.
The transition covers Six Senses Residences, Mi Casa, Palm Beach Villas, and Palm Beach West, with renewable electricity supplied by ACEN RES, the retail electricity arm of Ayala-led ACEN.
The move is enabled through the government’s Green Energy Option Program (GEOP) and Retail Aggregation Program (RAP), two initiatives designed to expand consumer access to renewable energy while accelerating the country’s transition to cleaner power sources.
Under GEOP, electricity end-users with a minimum monthly demand of 100 kilowatts can procure electricity directly from licensed renewable energy suppliers. RAP, meanwhile, allows multiple facilities to aggregate their electricity demand, enabling more buildings and developments to qualify for retail renewable electricity supply.
The latest agreement comes as more Philippine businesses are turning to GEOP and RAP to meet sustainability goals and manage long-term electricity costs, amid the government’s broader push to increase the share of renewable energy in the country’s power generation mix.
“This partnership with Federal Land demonstrates how renewable energy can be integrated into large-scale residential developments,” said Tony Valdez, senior vice president for market transformation and retail at ACEN.
“By transitioning these properties to our renewable energy portfolio, we are helping Federal Land enhance the long-term value and resilience of its developments while advancing its sustainability ambitions. This collaboration also highlights our ability to deliver tailored energy solutions for the real estate sector,” he added.
The transition was implemented through the collaboration of Federal Property Management Corporation, the property management arm of Federal Land, and the condominium corporations of the participating developments.
Federal Land said sourcing 100% renewable electricity is expected to strengthen the long-term value of the developments by improving energy resilience, reducing exposure to electricity market volatility, and creating a more sustainable and future-ready living environment for residents.
The agreement adds to a series of renewable energy initiatives across the country’s real estate sector as developers incorporate clean power into residential, commercial and mixed-use projects in response to investor demand, tenant preferences and the Philippines’ energy transition agenda.
The shift also complements recent government efforts to accelerate renewable energy deployment.
In recent weeks, the Department of Energy has continued to promote policies supporting the sector, including wider participation in renewable energy procurement and measures aimed at attracting more investment into clean energy projects.
These initiatives form part of the country’s goal of increasing renewable energy’s share in the power generation mix while improving energy security.
ACEN RES is the retail electricity business of ACEN, the Ayala group’s listed energy company. ACEN has more than 7 gigawatts of attributable renewable energy capacity across projects in operation, under construction and under signed agreements in the Philippines, Australia, Vietnam, India, Laos, Indonesia and other markets.
The company aims to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.
