Berde Renewables Inc., a distributed renewable energy portfolio company of I Squared Capital based in  the Philippines, has announced the expansion of its partnership with Holcim Philippines.

Building on the  success of last year’s solar rooftop projects, the two companies are now taking their collaboration to the next level.

Together, they will work to increase the renewable energy capacity at Holcim’s facilities in  Davao City and Lugait Misamis Oriental, further enhancing their sustainability efforts. 

Through the expanded partnership, Berde Renewables will take on the design, construction, and  management of additional solar facilities at new Holcim sites, increasing the combined capacity to 12.79  megawatt-peak (MWp).

These installations are expected to generate approximately 21,263 megawatt hours of clean energy annually, which will help reduce carbon emissions by approximately 14,000 metric  tons per year. This project supports Holcim’s ambitious goal of reducing Scope 2 emissions by 65 percent  by 2030. 

Being selected once again through a highly competitive process is a testament to Berde’s proven track  record and the trust that Holcim Philippines places in our expertise,” said Patrick Zhu, CEO of Berde  Renewables. “We are truly honored to extend our partnership and work together to accelerate the  Philippines’ transition to renewable energy.”

“Berde Renewables’ exceptional track record, proven through their re-selection in a highly competitive  process, makes them an indispensable partner in advancing our sustainability goals,” said Nicolas  George, CEO of Holcim Philippines.

“This partnership is pivotal in reducing our environmental impact and  accelerating the Philippines’ shift to renewable energy.”
