Mandarin Plaza, a business hotel in Cebu City, has reaffirmed its dedication to environmental stewardship by transitioning to a 100% renewable energy supply. This was achieved through a strategic partnership with ACEN Renewable Energy Solutions (ACEN RES) of the Ayala group. This significant step demonstrates Mandarin Plaza’s commitment to a sustainable future and inspires others to follow suit, contributing to a healthier planet for all.
The Green Energy Option Program (GEOP) is a game-changer for eligible customers, with an average monthly demand of at least 100 kilowatts. It allows them to procure power exclusively from renewable energy sources through their preferred supplier, a significant step towards a greener future.
Commitment to Environmental Stewardship
Harvey Ho, General Manager, stated, “Mandarin Plaza Hotel is proud to embrace renewable energy, aligning with the sustainability values of our planet-conscious travellers. Our commitment reflects a dedicated contribution to fostering sustainability within the hospitality industry.”
In the bustling commercial district of Cebu City, Mandarin Plaza is a top choice for discerning business people and travellers who seek a seamless balance of work and leisure. The hotel offers modern amenities, an inviting outdoor pool, and well-appointed, air-conditioned rooms, all dedicated to enhancing the guest experience. Culinary enthusiasts can savor diverse international dishes at the lobby lounge.
Partnership with ACEN Renewable Energy Solutions
“We are honored to have been chosen by the Mandarin Plaza Hotel as their renewable energy partner. We commend their bold move to lead the charge in promoting renewable energy in the hospitality sector. We hope that more businesses will consider embracing sustainably sourced power and benefit from savings with Zero-Rated VAT and a reduced carbon footprint,” said Ela Mina, Assistant Vice President of Commercial Operations at ACEN.
Switching to renewable energy is not just an environmental win, but also a smart financial move. It enhances a business’s reputation, leads to significant cost savings, provides access to tax incentives, and reduces reliance on traditional energy sources. This financial advantage, coupled with the positive impact on the environment, should be a compelling reason for more businesses to consider this sustainable switch.
