In line with Earth Month this April and the celebration of Earth Day on April 22, Metro Pacific Tollways South (MPT South) proudly highlights its commitment to sustainable operations through the Green Energy Option Program (GEOP).

Since August 26, 2025, MPT South has successfully transitioned to sourcing 100% of its electricity from renewable energy, specifically from the BacMan Geothermal Power Plant in Albay, Bicol. This milestone demonstrates our dedication to both environmental stewardship and operational efficiency.

•100% of electricity sourced from renewable energy

Breakdown of savings and environmental impact:

•Aug 26 – Oct 25, 2025: 82,671 kWh → 44.43 tCO₂e avoided

•Oct 2025 – Jan 2026: 123,680 kWh → 66.46 tCO₂e avoided

Financial impact:

•Regular billing (₱16.77/kWh): ₱702,080.93
