The Philippines’ leading cold-storage operator, Mets, has partnered with First Gen Corp., the country’s largest geothermal energy supplier, to power the energy-intensive sector with renewable energy, seeking both cost savings and lower emissions.
Cold storage expansion meets energy transition goals
Under the agreement signed on Oct. 3, Mets will source up to 2.05 MW of electricity from the Mount Apo Geothermal Power Plant, operated by Energy Development Corp. (EDC), a subsidiary of First Gen Corp. The renewable supply will cover the company’s current power needs and support its planned expansion.
The facility, with a storage capacity of over 7,100 metric tons, is part of Mets’ growing nationwide cold-chain network.
