Meralco collaborates with ERC, Quezon City to advance renewable energy adoption

Manuel V. Pangilinan-led Manila Electric Company (Meralco) has partnered with the Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) and the Quezon City local government unit (LGU) to launch a joint initiative aimed at advancing the greater use of renewable energy (RE) sources in the metropolitan area.

Representatives fram Meralco, ERC, and Quezon City LGU signed a tripartite agreement to advance the development of public-private models in support of the national government's goals of increasing the RE share in the country’s power supply mix to 35% by 2030, and subsequently to 50% by 2040.

For Quezon City, this initiative aligns with its broader sustainability agenda as a member of C40 Cities — a global network of mayors of leading cities across the world committed to addressing climate change.

“One of our core priorities in Quezon City has always been to make energy cleaner, mare reliable, and more accessible not just for our whole operations but for households and businesses in our city. Through this agreement with ERC and Meralco, we're putting systems in place, clear processes, better coordination, and stronger support so that more stakeholders can take part in our clean energy transition,” Quezon City Mayor Josefina “Joy” G, Bel-monte said
