Italpinas Development Corporation (IDC) officially signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with SunShare Philippines Inc. (SunShare), a licensed, digital-first retail electricity supplier, at the IDC Makati headquarters. The partnership establishes a collaborative framework designed to significantly reduce electricity costs across IDC’s real estate developments while accelerating the adoption of clean energy.
Under the terms of the MoU, SunShare will work alongside Italpinas to identify, evaluate, and deploy energy-sourcing strategies that maximize clean energy use and minimize power supply expenses. Underpinning this is SunShare’s platform, whose dashboard turns the electricity bill into clear, actionable intelligence. The partnership directly benefits end-users, property buyers, investors, and the environment.
As part of the joint initiative, SunShare and Italpinas will design custom rooftop solar photovoltaic (PV) systems to optimize energy generation potential, passing direct electrical savings on to residents, unit owners and home owners association.
Pushing the Boundaries of Green Development
Italpinas Development Corporation is widely recognized as a pioneer in sustainable real estate development in the Philippines. Known for its multi-awarded, design-driven properties, IDC’s entire portfolio is certified under EDGE (Excellence in Design for Greater Efficiencies), the globally recognized green building rating standard developed by the International Finance Corporation (IFC), a member of the World Bank Group.
As an EDGE Champion, Italpinas has consistently integrated passive and active green design and eco-friendly infrastructure into its mid developments across emerging Philippine cities.
Extending Sustainability to Economic Housing
Building on its core mission, Italpinas is scaling its green architecture model into the affordable housing sector through its wholly owned subsidiary, IDC Homes.
Through IDC Homes, Italpinas aims to address the growing market demand for economic housing without compromising design, quality or sustainability. The collaboration with Sun Share plays a pivotal role in this vision: by combining ITALPINAS eco-friendly architectural design with SunShare’s renewable energy and electricity optimization frameworks and digital platform, will deliver:
Lower Monthly Living Costs: Direct energy savings achieved through rooftop solar power generation and SunShare’s group-buying aggregation strategies, made visible on a simple digital dashboard.
Healthier Living Environments: Thoughtfully planned communities that prioritize natural light, natural indoor ventilation, reduced sun direct irradiation and large use of biophilia strategies to optimize users well being for all markets.
Reduced Carbon Footprints: A lower environmental impact achieved by relying less on fossil-fuel power grids.
Long-Term Value for Buyers: Affordable homes that remain cost-effective in terms of maintenance and increase in value over time.
By partnering with SunShare, Italpinas proves that sustainable, green living is not a luxury reserved for high-end markets, but a viable, eco-friendly standard accessible to every Filipino family. For Sunshare, whose promise is ‘Energy for everyone,’ the partnership puts that into practice.
The dynamic between the two partners is a future-fluent engagement of two current issues: a shortage of affordable housing and the need for cleaner power. As the market for affordable housing remains consistent, this combination of skills and expertise between IDC and SunShare can ensure that demand can be met on one hand, without compromising the environment on the other.
