Globe<\/strong> is taking concrete steps to support local, diversified, and sustainable energy sources for its operations. The company has established a partnership agreement with the First Gen Group to supply electricity from geothermal and hydroelectric sources to power key facilities in Mindanao and Caloocan City. The company established this agreement in early April in anticipation of Earth Day on April 22<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Under this agreement with First Gen<\/strong>, three of Globe\u2019s facilities in Mindanao will be powered by geothermal energy, while its Caloocan site will draw from hydropower. These indigenous energy sources are not dependent on imported fuel, helping reduce exposure to global fuel price volatility.<\/p>\n Geothermal energy, in particular, provides a steady and continuous source of power that can support energy-intensive operations around the clock. Combined with hydroelectric power, this strengthens Globe\u2019s ability to run critical network infrastructure while maintaining consistent service for customers.<\/p>\n The transition was enabled through the government\u2019s Retail Competition and Open Access and Green Energy Option Program<\/strong>, which allow large electricity consumers to directly source renewable energy from qualified suppliers. These mechanisms support the country\u2019s broader push to diversify energy sources and improve long-term energy resilience.<\/p>\n \u201cAs demand for connectivity grows, how we power our network matters just as much as how we build it,\u201d said Yoly Crisanto,<\/strong> Chief Sustainability and Corporate Communications Officer at Globe. \u201cShifting to local renewable energy allows us to operate more responsibly while ensuring we remain reliable for the people and communities we serve.\u201d<\/p>\n By purchasing electricity from local sources of renewable energy, Globe contributes to the Philippines\u2019 goal of increasing the share of renewable energy in the national mix while supporting a more stable and sustainable power system. The move also diversifies the company\u2019s sources of energy to keep its network running reliably as demand for connectivity continues to grow.<\/p>\n Globe is also implementing fuel use efficiency initiatives for facilities that still need non-renewable fuel, such as Dynamic Load Management<\/strong>, for generator sets that provide power sites located in remote areas and backup power.<\/p>\n As Globe continues to expand its digital infrastructure, it remains focused on powering connectivity in a way that balances performance, sustainability, and long-term value for the communities it serves.<\/p>\n Earlier in March, Globe Telecom, Inc. switched off non-essential lighting and appliances across its facilities on March 28, 2026<\/strong> in observance of Earth Hour, reinforcing its commitment to climate action, while urging stronger focus on energy conservation and efficiency as the country faces ongoing energy challenges.<\/p>\n About Globe<\/strong><\/p>\n Globe is taking concrete steps to support local, diversified, and sustainable energy sources for its<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2,7,8],"tags":[59,58,57,56],"class_list":["post-788","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-business","category-stories","category-tech","tag-earth-hour","tag-first-gen","tag-globe","tag-globe-telecoms"],"aioseo_notices":[],"yoast_head":"\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/dailyupdeets.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Screenshot_20260423_212406-300x141.jpg\")
