Manufacturing company Citizen Machinery Philippines Inc.’s (CMP) facilities in Tanauan, Batangas will soon be powered by clean and reliable power from geothermal leader Energy Development Corporation (EDC).
The company’s two-year contract for 2.5 megawatts (MW) of geothermal power from EDC’s Bacon-Manito Geothermal Project will commence on December 26, 2018.
“As a manufacturing company, Citizen Machinery Philippines desires to be supplied by stable and low-cost electricity, especially since our foundry consumes much power,” said Citizen Machinery Philippines President, Akihide Kanaya. “EDC’s BacMan Geothermal Project meets these criteria. At the same time, we remain committed to give our customers the highest level of satisfaction as possible. This includes making sustainable contributions to society through innovative manufacturing solutions, while recognizing our impact to the environment. Choosing to be powered by 100-percent renewable energy strongly supports this commitment.”
CMP manufactures and assembles automatic lathe machines, which produces other machines for use in different industries.
