Globe to shift over 3,000 cell sites to renewable energy

Globe has started shifting more than 3,000 cell sites and other low-energy utilization facilities to renewable energy (RE) in Metro Manila and Region IV-A, with completion expected no later than 2028.

Demonstrating its continued leadership in climate action, Globe scales up its net-zero ambition by being the first telco and digital service provider in the Philippines to adopt the Retail Aggregation Program (RAP) to shift a significantly broader set of the company's sites to 100% RE.

The initiative goes beyond utilizing the Green Energy Option (GEOP) and Retail Competition and Open Access (RCOA) to source renewable energy, which Globe also pioneered in the industry in 2019.

The switching of these 3,000+ sites to renewable energy through RAP is expected to avoid an estimated 5.5 million kilograms of CO2e GHG emissions per year, while providing 80 million kilowatt-hours of electricity sourced from renewable energy annually.

This latest effort follows Globe's ongoing use of renewable energy across 33 high energy-utilization facilities, 22 of which are supported by Power Purchase Agreements with ACEN RES.

RAP enables Globe's broader efforts to decarbonize its operations and lower its overall environmental impact.
