MANILA, Philippines — Manila Electric Co. (Meralco) hopes to achieve 100 percent electrification of its franchise area by 2020.
Meralco senior vice president and head of networks Ronnie Aperocho said this initiative is in support of the distribution utility’s initiatives towards using more sustainable energy sources and highlights efforts on rural electrification, a point of focus by President Duterte.
The power utility giant has intensified its electrification program since the second quarter of the year.
