ACEN Renewable Energy Solutions (ACEN RES) has partnered with Xavier School Nuvali, paving the way towards sustainability and renewable energy adoption within the Philippines. Through this collaboration, Xavier School Nuvali has transitioned to relying entirely on ACEN’s renewable energy portfolio, which includes wind, solar, and geothermal sources.
As per the firm, this strategic move reveals ACEN’s commitment to supporting educational institutions in their pursuit of carbon neutrality and sustainable development, marking a pivotal moment in the renewable energy landscape.
The firm further said that the switch to renewable energy at Xavier School Nuvali promises tangible environmental benefits. With the campus now powered by clean energy, the initiative is projected to have a substantial impact, akin to removing 114 cars from the road annually.
The signing ceremony was held at Xavier School Nuvali’s sprawling campus in Laguna exemplified the shared commitment to sustainability. The executives from ACEN RES, alongside the school’s leadership, faculty, trustees, and student body, celebrated this milestone in promoting eco-friendly practices. Fr. Aristotle Dy, SJ, President of Xavier School, said, ” The partnership goes beyond mere energy supply; it fosters a culture of sustainability within the educational community, guiding faculty and students towards an environmentally conscious future.” Moreover, Tony Valdez, Senior Vice President for market transformation and retail at ACEN, highlighted the collaboration’s alignment with Pope Francis’s encyclical Laudato Si, underscoring the shared responsibility to care for the planet.
Beyond this collaboration, ACEN has emerged as a leading force in renewable energy across the Asia-Pacific region. It may be noted that with a diverse portfolio spanning the Philippines, Australia, Vietnam, Indonesia, and India, ACEN aims to become the largest listed renewables platform in Southeast Asia by 2030. The company’s commitment extends beyond business goals, with plans to transition its entire generation portfolio to 100% renewable energy by 2025.
