Ayala Malls expands solar installations
MANILA, Philippines — Ayala Malls is rolling out rooftop solar installations across more shopping centers to accelerate its shift to renewable energy.
Ayala Malls said solar installations at 13 malls now generate around 20.8 million kilowatt-hours of clean electricity annually, cutting an estimated 16,200 tons of carbon emissions each year.
It said solar installations at 18 malls, including Glorietta, Greenbelt, One Ayala, Ayala Malls Circuit and Ayala Malls Vertis North, along with new developments such as Ayala Malls Evo City and Ayala Malls Gatewalk, are expected to generate an additional 29.4 million kilowatt-hours annually.
These are equivalent to a further reduction of 22,940 tons of carbon emissions.
“Solar is one of the ways we reduce our environmental footprint. It’s part of our diversified approach – combining on-site generation with clean power sourcing to support long-term clean energy performance across our malls,” Ayala Malls chief operating officer Paul Birket said.
Ayala Malls said the solar rollout is part of its broader energy strategy.
Rooftop solar allows the company to generate clean energy on-site, which could translate into further long-term cost savings.
Renewable energy currently accounts for 98 percent of the electricity used across its properties, sourced through accredited renewable energy suppliers and independently verified through international renewable energy certificates.
“As Ayala Malls continues to grow, we’re ensuring sustainability remains integral to how we operate – ensuring our tenants are set up to succeed, everyone who walks through our malls stays engaged and our spaces stay resilient and future-ready,” Birkett said.
As part of property giant Ayala Land, Ayala Malls operates over 33 malls nationwide that offer a diverse mix of global and local brands as well as innovative spaces.
