The First Cavite Industrial Estate Association Inc. (FCIE) has officially partnered with MPower, the retail electricity arm of Manila Electric Company (Meralco), to energize its facilities and participate in the Retail Aggregation Program (RAP).
Located on a 150-hectare property in Cavite, FCIE becomes one of the pioneering mixed-use industrial estates in the Philippines to enroll in RAP—an initiative that enables multiple electricity accounts within the estate to be consolidated into a single aggregated portfolio. This allows FCIE to optimize power sourcing, improve cost efficiency, and access flexible energy supply options.
The Retail Aggregation Program, launched by the Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) under the Customer Choice Program, allows end-users within the same franchise area to collectively qualify as a single contestable customer. By pooling their electricity demand, participants may negotiate better pricing and participate more competitively in the retail electricity market.
FCIEAI President Micaela Laila Flores said the partnership underscores the estate’s commitment to sustainability and innovation.
“This partnership with MPower is a strategic move toward advancing sustainability and operational excellence in the industrial sector. It strengthens our vision of becoming a leading industrial estate powered by energy-efficient solutions and responsible practices. Together, we are building a legacy of innovation, impact, and sustainable growth,” Flores said.
MPower Head Redel Domingo affirmed the company’s support for empowering customers through energy choice and efficiency.
“FCIE’s participation in RAP sets a new benchmark for energy collaboration in the Philippines. By consolidating demand and adopting more efficient power solutions, this partnership drives sustainable progress. MPower is proud to provide reliable energy that empowers industries, strengthens communities, and creates lasting value,” Domingo said.
With this collaboration, FCIE joins a growing number of industrial and commercial developments embracing retail competition as a pathway to cost-effective, transparent, and customer-focused energy management.
Through RAP, MPower continues to champion customer empowerment by offering innovative energy solutions, competitive rates, and dependable service.|
