ACEN Renewable Energy Solutions (ACEN RES) forged a partnership with the Philippine office of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., a leading global banking and financial services firm, to supply 100% of renewable energy to power its corporate headquarters in the country. The landmark partnership was recently celebrated in a special ceremonial event attended by key executives from ACEN and JPMorgan Chase.
Through its lessor, Asia Affinity, JPMorgan Chase signed a Retail Electricity Supply Agreement with ACEN RES to power its 25-story office building in Taguig City. Renewable energy will be sourced from ACEN’s portfolio of wind, solar, and geothermal plants, with the switch to renewable energy estimated to avoid carbon dioxide emissions equivalent to around 4,700 cars off the road per year.
Carlos Ma. G. Mendoza, senior country officer of J.P. Morgan, said: “Through this partnership and the shift to renewable energy solutions, we affirm our global commitment to environmental sustainability and our continued efforts to achieve a low carbon footprint for JPMorgan Chase in the Philippines.”
Eric Francia, CEO of ACEN, said: “The Ayala Group and JPMorgan Chase have a long history of cooperation, and we are very proud that this relationship has evolved towards our shared value of sustainability. We are grateful for their trust in ACEN as their renewable energy partner of choice.”
ACEN RES is at the forefront of providing renewable energy solutions to help businesses meet their decarbonization goals by providing the best approach to help save on cost and have a reliable source of electricity supply.

Millennial Entrepreneur Sets sights on Net-Zero Carbon, Net-Zero Plastics
Pacific Synergy Beverage Corporation founder Charles Lee is young, woke, and determined to steer his company toward a net-zero carbon future. He starts this journey by sourcing power from renewable energy sources through ACEN RES, the retail electricity supply arm of the Ayala Group. “When we were yet starting, our environmental impact may not have been as significant, but as we expanded in volume, our electricity consumption naturally grew,” Lee explained. “I thought, how can we manage our electrical costs and minimize the environmental impact of our energy use.” The 32-year-old entrepreneur found the answer in Retail Competition and Open Access (RCOA). This government initiative enables businesses with an average energy demand of at least 500 kilowatts to contract power from a supplier of their choice. In 2020, Lee found that Pacific Synergy could participate in the program. “Being able to choose our electricity supplier means that we also have greater control over which sources our energy supply will come from. The offer of ACEN RES had a guaranteed renewable energy supply, making it easy for our company to pivot towards sustainability. [ACEN RES representatives] explained how much carbon emissions would be avoided by switching to RE,” he added. Lee intends to move beyond carbon neutrality. He is determined to achieve net-zero plastic — recapture and recycle the plastic that his business releases to the environment — and eventually, use 100% recycled plastic bottles. The young entrepreneur knows that achieving full sustainability is long and complex, but he is determined to pursue it no matter what. “The younger generation takes climate change more seriously because we live in it. In terms of energy, I am glad to have a dependable partner, ACEN RES, to make our sustainability journey within our reach,” he said.
