TÜV Rheinland Philippines shifts to 100% renewable energy with ACEN RES

Makati City, Philippines — TÜV Rheinland Philippines, Inc., a testing, inspection, and certification service provider, has transitioned its main office operations to 100% renewable energy through a partnership with ACEN RES.

The facility, located in Magallanes, Makati City, made the switch under the Retail Competition and Open Access (RCOA) framework. The government-backed program allows qualified contestable consumers with high electricity demand to choose their own energy suppliers and source power from renewable options.
By switching to renewable energy, the company aims to minimize its environmental impact and align its local operations with global corporate sustainability standards.

“As a company dedicated to safety, quality, and environmental standards, practicing what we audit is a core operational priority,” said Tristan Arwen “Bobbit” Loveres, managing director of TÜV Rheinland Philippines. “Switching to pure renewable energy for our Makati facility allows us to directly lower our carbon footprint, ensuring that our corporate practices reflect the exact sustainability and environmental compliance standards we verify for our clients.”

ACEN RES, the retail electricity supply arm of the Ayala-owned energy platform ACEN, will supply the facility with power generated from its portfolio of solar and wind projects.

“We are glad to support TÜV Rheinland Philippines in achieving its environmental targets through the RCOA program,” said Tony Valdez, senior vice president and head of market transformation and retail at ACEN. “Providing reliable, renewable power to organizations that uphold global quality standards reinforces our commitment to scaling up the country’s green energy capacity and helping businesses build sustainable operations.”
