Date of release: September 8, 2025

West Zone concessionaire Maynilad Water Services, Inc. has signed a new agreement with Manila Electric Company’s (Meralco) local retail electricity supplier, MPower, to deliver power to its Poblacion Water Treatment Plant in Muntinlupa City and 54 other water and wastewater facilities. The partnership supports Maynilad’s ongoing efforts to improve energy efficiency and transition to cleaner power sources.

Under the agreement, Poblacion WTP—Maynilad’s newest water treatment facility—has been enrolled in the Retail Electricity Supply (RES) program, where MPower will provide an energy mix of 90% non-renewable and 10% renewable power. MPower will also work with Maynilad to manage the plant’s energy use in preparation for a future increase in renewable share.

In addition, 54 Maynilad facilities—including pump stations, reservoirs, and wastewater treatment plants—are now part of MPower’s Retail Aggregation Program (RAP), which enables the bulk purchase of electricity and consolidation of accounts for greater operational efficiency.

“These initiatives form part of our broader strategy to optimize energy consumption while reducing our overall environmental footprint,” said Maynilad President and CEO Ramoncito S. Fernandez.

In pursuit of carbon neutrality by 2037, Maynilad is implementing a comprehensive strategy centered on the transition to renewable energy sources and the establishment of a carbon sink equivalent to 180,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide. As of March 2025, Maynilad aims to increase its reliance on clean energy to 15% of total power requirements, with a target range of 35% to 50% by 2037.

These efforts directly support the goals of the Paris Agreement on Climate Change, which seeks to reduce the Philippines’ greenhouse gas emissions by 75% by 2030.

Maynilad is the largest private water concessionaire of Metropolitan Waterworks and Sewerage System (MWSS) in the Philippines in terms of customer base. Its service area includes the cities of Manila (all but portions of San Andres and Sta. Ana), Quezon City (west of San Juan River, West Avenue, EDSA, Congressional, Mindanao Avenue, the northern part starting from the Districts of Holy Spirit and Batasan Hills), Makati (west of South Super Highway), Caloocan, Pasay, Parañaque, Las Piñas, Muntinlupa, Valenzuela, Navotas, and Malabon, all in Metro Manila; and the cities of Cavite, Bacoor, and Imus, and the municipalities of Kawit, Noveleta, and Rosario, all in the province of Cavite.
