ACEN RES to power Scheider Electric unit with renewable energy

Powering the Future ACEN RES Leads the Way in Renewable Energy

As we enter 2026, it has become increasingly imperative that businesses prioritize sustainability and environmental stewardship. Embracing renewable energy is a crucial step towards achieving this goal. In a recent development, ACEN Corp.'s retail electricity arm, ACEN RES, has partnered with Schneider Electric's American Power Conversion business unit to power their operations entirely on renewable energy.

A Powerful Partnership

The partnership has enabled American Power Conversion's office and five manufacturing facilities in the Cavite Economic Zone to be 100% powered by renewable energy under the Department of Energy's Green Energy Option Program. This remarkable achievement demonstrates the feasibility of large-scale industrial operations running solely on clean energy, setting a powerful example for other businesses to follow.

According to ACEN President and CEO Eric Francia, This partnership with Schneider Electric demonstrates how leading global manufacturers can actively advance the renewable energy transition in the Philippines. By choosing renewable energy, American Power Conversion is not only reducing its carbon footprint but also paving the way for a sustainable future.

The Impact of the Green Energy Option Program

The Green Energy Option Program (GEOP) is a regulatory mechanism that allows electricity end-users with an average monthly consumption of at least 100 kilowatts to choose renewable energy as their power source. This innovative program enables businesses like American Power Conversion to directly contract with renewable energy suppliers, bypassing their default distribution utility.

A Bold Step Towards Net Zero

Schneider Philippines plant director Antonio Cheng Jr. emphasized the significance of this collaboration, stating, This partnership sets in motion our transition to 100% renewable energy at our Cavite Smart Factory, a bold stride in our journey toward Net Zero. The Cavite Smart factory will become the first facility within a government ecozone in Luzon and the first Schneider electric factory in East Asia to operate entirely on renewable energy.

Conclusion

As we move forward into 2026, it is clear that embracing renewable energy is no longer a nicety but a necessity. By partnering with ACEN RES, American Power Conversion has taken a crucial step towards reducing its environmental impact and demonstrating the practicality of large-scale industrial operations running solely on clean energy. As we strive for a more sustainable future, this collaboration serves as an inspiringly example of what can be achieved when businesses prioritize the environment.
