ACEN Renewable Energy Solutions (ACEN RES), the retail electricity supply arm of Ayala Group’s renewable energy platform, ACEN, is delighted to declare its strategic alliance with Mandarin Plaza Hotel, a leading business hub in Cebu City. This significant collaboration marks a crucial milestone, enabling the hotel to transition to a fully renewable energy supply, reflecting our commitment to sustainable practices.

Renowned for its contemporary amenities, fine dining experiences, and commitment to providing a comfortable and eco-conscious stay, the hotel sets the standard for modern hospitality.

Ela Mina, ACEN vice president for commercial operations, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership: “Mandarin Plaza Hotel’s decision to transition to renewable energy is a commendable move within the hospitality industry. We are thrilled to facilitate this transition and are confident that Mandarin Plaza’s example will inspire other businesses to follow suit. Our customers not only enjoy the environmental benefits of clean energy but also financial advantages such as zero-rated VAT and a significant reduction in their carbon footprint.”

Through this partnership, Mandarin Plaza Hotel and ACEN RES take the lead in championing sustainable initiatives, demonstrating the practical advantages of renewable energy, and strengthening their roles as corporate environmental stewards. Together, they are spearheading a path towards a more sustainable future within the hospitality industry and beyond.
