MSpectrum, Inc., a wholly owned solar subsidiary of Manila Electric Co. (Meralco), has expanded its partnership with Southeast Asia Retail Inc. —the company behind Landers Superstore—through two new solar rooftop projects.
MSpectrum will install a 600-kilowatt peak (kWp) solar rooftop project at Landers Cebu, expected to generate approximately 960,000 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of clean energy every year.
This will enable Landers Cebu to reduce 683.71 metric tons in carbon footprint—equivalent to over 31,000 trees planted and more than 2.72 million kilometers reduced in vehicle travel per year.
Meanwhile, MSpectrum will develop a 930-kWp solar rooftop facility at Landers Fairview, projected to generate 1.19 million kWh of clean energy each year.
This will result in an estimated reduction of 845.95 metric tons in carbon emissions—equivalent to planting around 38,000 trees and cutting more than 3.37 million kilometers in vehicle travel annually.
“We’re proud to partner with MSpectrum as we take meaningful steps toward becoming more environmentally responsible. Sustainability is a growing priority not just for the company, but for me personally as well. This solar initiative is not only about reducing operational costs, but also about contributing to the country’s efforts in promoting clean energy,” Southeast Asia Retail chief operating officer Pieter Dhoni Lukman said.
