Delfingen, ACEN RES to pioneer Cebu’s automotive industry to 100% renewable energy

 CEBU CITY – Delfingen, a French automotive supplier known globally for its on-board network’s protection solutions and fluid transfer tubing for vehicles committed to a greener future, transitioning its Cebu manufacturing operations to a 100% renewable energy supply through its partnership with Ayala group’s ACEN Renewable Energy Solutions (ACEN RES).

"Our unwavering commitment to reducing our carbon footprint goes hand in hand with maintaining our products' global standards. As we transition to renewable energy, we not only contribute to environmental preservation but also bolster our customers' sustainability goals," Edmark Perez, Delfingen Cebu plant manager said.

Ela Mina, ACEN RES assistant vice president and head of account management expressed deep pride and excitement at being chosen by Delfingen as its energy supplier and sustainability partner.

"Our mission at ACEN RES is not just about simplifying the transition to renewables for businesses in the Philippines. It's about igniting a broader transformation in corporate sustainability, championing the use of renewable energy as a concrete step towards achieving ESG goals,” Mina bared.

Through this partnership with Delfingen, ACEN RES is not only providing a more sustainable energy source, but also creating significant cost savings and fostering a cleaner, healthier planet for future generations, Mina added.

Delfingen was formerly powered by conventional sources but it made the decisive leap to fully renewable energy, utilizing the Green Energy Option Program (GEOP), the government initiative that empowers customers with an average demand of at least 100 kilowatts to source power from renewable sources, such as solar, wind and geothermal, and choose their renewable energy supplier over the local distribution utility operating within their region.

ACEN RES on the other hand is the retail electricity arm of the Ayala Group.  It stands at the forefront of renewable energy solutions and as a licensed retail electricity supplier, ACEN RES powers businesses and industries through the RCOA and the GEOP, making a significant contribution to the reduction of global carbon emissions and reinforcing the critical importance of ESG considerations in businesses today.

ACEN RES’ generation company, ACEN, continues to aggressively expand its portfolio across its key markets in Asia Pacific as part of its bold aspiration to reach 20 GW of renewables by 2030.

According to Delfingen, this groundbreaking shift will significantly reduce the carbon emissions of Delfingen, making a substantial contribution to global climate change mitigation efforts.  It will also transition Delfingen’s, helping reduce the company’s carbon emissions.

ACEN RES’ portfolio of renewable energy assets now reaching 4,330 MW in capacity, will supply Delfingen with clean energy.  This is a bold step in both companies’ commitment to a sustainable future as it targets to avoid approximately 4,150 tons of carbon emissions throughout the duration of the contract.

ACEN RES is the listed energy platform of the Ayala Group with 4,400 MW of attributable capacity from owned facilities in the Philippines, Australia, Vietnam, Indonesia and India, with a renewable share of 98 percent which is among the highest in the region.

ACEN’s aspiration is to be the largest listed renewables platform in Southeast Asia, with a goal of reaching 20GW of renewables capacity by 2030. ACEN is committed to transition the company’s generation portfolio to 100 percent renewable energy by 2025 and to become a Net Zero greenhouse gas emissions company by 2050.
