This collaboration aims to lower HCG’s carbon footprint while reducing electricity costs.
First Gen, alongside sister company Pi Energy Inc., will install a 660-kilowatt (kW) solar power plant at the site.
This initiative aligns with HCG’s ongoing decarbonization program, established four years ago to transition its energy consumption to renewable sources.
“Our goal is to pursue excellence in building healthy, highly efficient and cost-saving products. We build better designs to reduce our overall impact on the environment and support sustainable development,” said Eugene Lin, HCG Philippines senior vice president and officer-in-charge.
“Over the years, we have completed several initiatives that contribute to our decarbonization objectives and we are committed to using green energy,” he added.
Mark Malabanan, assistant vice president for Solar of First Gen, said, “We are honored to be part of the journey of HCG in the Philippines towards a decarbonized and regenerative future; and we look forward to a growing partnership to lower HCG’s carbon emissions by using clean energy to power operations and integrating energy efficiency solutions.”
Founded in Taiwan in 1931, HCG has expanded internationally, setting up a significant production facility in Cavite in 1997.
The brand’s dedication to sustainable operations and First Gen’s expertise in renewable energy make this partnership a model for industry-led environmental responsibility.
First Gen is one of the Philippines’ largest independent power producers, operating 33 facilities with a combined capacity of 3,697 megawatts.
