MPower, the local retail electricity supplier (RES) of the Manila Electric Co. (Meralco), has partnered with Big Ben Group to provide reliable and competitive power to its manufacturing plants in Pulilan, Bulacan.
This collaboration aims to support Big Ben Group’s ready-mix concrete production and sustainability goals.
‘Sustainability has to be embedded in how we operate and plan for the future. Partnering with MPower enables us to improve our energy management while supporting our long-term business and sustainability goals. It reinforces our belief that responsible business decisions and operational excellence go hand in hand,’ Big Ben Group Director Benjamin Eusebio said.
The Big Ben Group is a manufacturer and supplier of ready-mix concrete, delivering support for construction developments ranging from residential projects to major and commercial infrastructure.
‘Energy reliability and cost efficiency are fundamental to how we operate and compete. We cannot promise excellence to our clients if we do not secure excellence in our own operations. Partnering with a trusted provider like MPower strengthens the foundation of our business and supports our long-term vision for growth and resilience,’ Big Ben Group Chairman Eusebio Pacifico Garcia said.
He added that the collaboration with MPower further strengthens the operational continuity across Big Ben Group’s facilities by helping ensure efficient production and timely delivery of projects that support the communities it serves.
‘Our commitment extends beyond delivering power. We support Big Ben Group’s growth by providing the energy solutions and expertise needed to strengthen operational performance and long-term resilience.
By ensuring a stable and reliable power supply, we help create the conditions for businesses to focus on what they do best and continue creating value for their customers and communities,’ MPower Head Redel Domingo, for his part, said.
Meralco recently reported that its net income went up by 11 percent year-on-year to P26.3 billion in the first half, buoyed by the strong performance of its distribution, generation, and retail electricity businesses.
Consolidated core net income (CCNI) at end-June also improved by 3.8 percent to P26.5 billion from P25.5 billion, driven by a 48-percent contribution from the distribution utility (DU) and growing power generation earnings.
The company said it maintained stability through a ‘diversified earnings mix and prudent cost management’ amid global fuel pressures.
