RAP is an initiative of the Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) that allows smaller end-users to combine their multiple sites to meet the 500-kilowatt (kW) threshold. In this case, Mr. Freeze’s ice plants across Metro Manila as well as Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, and Bulacan provinces have entered the contestable market through MPower.

Although the capacity remains undisclosed, MPower has strengthened its partnership with Mr. Freeze for its bulk power purchasing deal.
