AboitizPower’s Cleanergy brand earns PH Quill

Cleanergy, AboitizPower’s brand for its clean and renewable energy (RE) portfolio, received a merit award at the 16th Philippine Quill Awards, held recently at Manila Marriott Hot el .

It was AboitizPower’s first time to join the Quill Awards and the Cleanergy campaign was its lone entry.

Institutionalized as a brand in 2009, Cleanergy took off in recent years as more and more customers “walk the talk” in sustainability and choose renewable energy for their power supply. As a group, AboitizPower and its partners produce more than 1,200 megawatts (MW) of RE through its portfolio of geothermal, hydro, and solar power plantslocated all over the country.

With Cleanergy, big load Open Access customers now have the power to choose and get their power supply entirely from RE through AboitizPower. Electric cooperatives and distribution utilities also add Cleanergy to balance their supply mix between thermal and renewable energy.

Cleanergy is part of AboitizPower’s bigger balanced mix strategy – tapping available resources to meet the country’s energy trilemma of energy sufficiency, affordability, and sustainability.

“That has always been part of strategy – to tap renewable energy as long as it is available and costeffective for the consumers, but at the same time utilize the reliability of thermal power plants,” said Antonio R. Moraza, AboitizPower President and CEO, in an earlier interview.

Bridging the Gap in Access

According to the 2017 National Demographic and Health Survey in the Philippines,49 per cent of unmarried, sexually active women and 17 per cent of married women still have an unmet need for family planning

“Today, working couples are faced with the challenge ofa lack of time to access quality family planning and reproductive health services, especially in public health centers that provide these services only during working hours,” shared UNFPA Country Representative Klaus Beck in his talk.

“A workplace program ensures that these services are available where the employees are, and that they are closely supported by their co-employees on a regular basis. Workplace programs are intended to reach the working couples at their work places,” he added.

Through the BAFP program, the UNFPA hope to provide further speed to a nascent movement on family planning in the workplace so that more companies join in helping their employees, themselves and the country in the process. (Press Release)
