Batangas 2 Electric Cooperative has tapped Aboitiz Power Corp. for a 3-megawatt
supply agreement as part of the latter’s efforts to diversify its portfolio and
make its operations more sustainable.
Aboitiz Power will
provide the supply from the Tiwi-Makban geothermal plants, through its
Cleanergy brand.
Serving a peak demand
of 132 megawatts, Batelec 2 is considered the largest of the 119 electric
cooperatives under the supervision of the National Electrification
Administration.
“We’ve been in the
business for over four decades, and this is the first time we have decided to
venture into the open access business and activate our local retail electricity
supplier (RES),” Batelec 2 general manager Octavious Mendoza said in a joint
statement.
Mendoza was referring
to the Retail Competition and Open Access program, which allowed individual or
groups of consumers that represent an average monthly demand of at least one
megawatt to seek alternative suppliers.
“To make a difference,
we have decided to source renewable supply to serve our contestable customers,”
he said.
