Cebu Pacific has strengthened its commitment to decarbonizing its operations by powering two of its major facilities with 100 percent renewable energy (RE).

In partnership with ACEN Renewable Energy Solutions (ACEN RES), one of Asia Pacific’s fastest-growing energy platforms, CEB has transitioned its APlus and AirJuan buildings to be powered entirely by RE.

“This shift to clean energy is an important component of further reducing our emissions, in this case, those generated from the use of electricity in our buildings and facilities. Partnering with ACEN also allows us to take advantage of the benefits of the Green Energy Option Program of the Department of Energy including cost savings for Cebu Pacific and supporting the country’s goal to boost renewable energy supply,” said Felix Lopez, CEB Chief Human Resources Officer.

The APlus and AirJuan buildings are essential to CEB’s daily operations, housing its maintenance, ground handling, and catering operations. Shifting these facilities to RE complements the airline’s broader decarbonization strategy which includes transitioning to a modern and fuel-efficient all-NEO fleet, implementing fuel-efficient practices, optimizing flight routes, and electrifying its ground support equipment.

ACEN RES expressed its enthusiasm for the partnership, with Sheila Mina, Vice President and Head of Account Management, stating, “We are delighted to partner with Cebu Pacific to support their commitment to sustainable aviation. By providing renewable energy solutions, we are enabling Cebu Pacific to reduce its carbon emissions and operate more efficiently. This partnership aligns with our mission of making renewable energy accessible for businesses across the Philippines.”

As 2024 comes to a close, CEB continues its sustainability leadership in the domestic aviation sector, setting a benchmark for the industry and advocating sustainable air travel.
