The pharmaceutical wholesaler and distributor recently signed an agreement with First Gen Corp., the country’s leading renewable energy company, for the direct supply of geothermal power to its warehouse facilities in Pasig and Quezon City.
The agreement took effect on Nov. 26, 2025.
Renewable Energy Shift
Under the partnership, First Gen said it will supply at least 145 kilowatts (kW) of geothermal energy to support Dyna Drug’s storage, logistics, and distribution operations.
The renewable power will be sourced from the Bacon-Manito geothermal power plant in Bicol, owned and operated by First Gen subsidiary Energy Development Corp.
Dyna Drug president Jacinto Dy said the move reflects the company’s long-term commitment to sustainability.
“Their strong commitment to sustainability aligns perfectly with Dyna’s DNA of values and goals. Transitioning to more sustainable solutions for our operations and minimizing our environmental footprint is our bold vision with tangible actions to improve the ecosystem,” Dy said.
Founded in 1915 as a grocery store, Dyna Drug later shifted into pharmaceutical wholesaling and emerged as one of the industry’s pioneers.
Today, it serves as the preferred distributor and wholesaler of over 3,000 retail drugstores nationwide, making power reliability a critical operational requirement.
Reliable power supply
First Gen chief customer engagement officer Carlo Vega said geothermal energy is well-suited for Dyna Drug’s operations, which require stable and continuous power.
“It is our privilege to support Dyna Drug in achieving their sustainability goals. The sensitive nature of the products they handle requires a stable supply of 24/7 renewable energy for warehouse operations,” Vega said, adding that First Gen aims to deepen the partnership as Dyna Drug advances its decarbonization journey.
First Gen operates more than 1,700 megawatts of renewable energy capacity from geothermal, hydro, wind, and solar facilities across the country, supporting both energy security and the Philippines’ clean energy transition. —Ed: Corrie S. Narisma
