SPECTRUM COMPLETES 1MW SOLAR PROJECT OF AJINOMOTO IN GUIGUINTO, BULACAN

Spectrum energized a 1 megawatt-peak solar facility installed in the manufacturing plant of Ajinomoto Philippines Flavor Food Inc. in Guiguinto, Bulacan.

The project was one of the fastest that Spectrum was able to finish for its scale at around three months. Now it can generate approximately 1,331,500 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of clean energy annually.

With it, APC is expected to reduce its carbon footprint of approximately 950 tonnes. This is equivalent to planting an estimated 2 million trees over the next 20 years. Or reducing vehicle travel by 3,800,00 kilometers per year.

“By 2030, as Ajinomoto Group of Companies, we would like to realize two outcomes.  First, we aim to help extend healthy life expectancy of 1 billion people around the world; and second to reduce our environmental impact by 50%,” said APC President Tsutomu Nara.

“Through this win-win partnership with Spectrum and Meralco, we are able to realize an important milestone to make our business operation sustainable by reducing our carbon footprint in the country,” he added.

“We are pleased to announce that the 1MWp solar facility of Ajinomoto is done and fully energized after only a three-month timeline. For every year that their solar operates, Ajinomoto will generate 1,331,500 kWh in clean energy and reduce their carbon footprint by 950 tonnes.” said Spectrum President and CEO Ferdinand O. Geluz.

Through our shared sustainability mindset, Spectrum's solar expertise and capabilities enables transformation of the way businesses operate. We are looking forward to partnering with more businesses like Ajinomoto towards a brighter, greener, and more sustainable future with solar energy.” He added.

Spectrum is a renewable energy solutions provider offering tailor-fit solutions for industrial, commercial, and residential customers through an in-depth understanding of energy consumption behaviors and strategic partnerships with world-class technology partners.

APC Group, on the other hand, markets Ajinomoto products in the Philippines. The local unit of Japanese multinational firm Ajinomoto Co., Inc. aims to bring happiness to every Filipino through their products and services that contribute to food and wellness, and to better lives for the future.
