ACEN RES to Power 1,450 7-Eleven Stores with Renewable Energy

Philippine Seven Corporation, the exclusive licensor of 7‑Eleven Philippines, is shifting 1,450 stores across Metro Manila, Batangas, Pangasinan, Bulacan, Cavite, and Nueva Ecija to 100% renewable energy through an electricity supply agreement with ACEN RES.

The transition is enabled through the government’s Retail Aggregation Program (RAP), which allows electricity consumers to aggregate demand and directly negotiate supply arrangements with licensed retail electricity suppliers.

Through RAP, businesses with multiple sites, such as 7-Eleven Philippines, can transition more efficiently to renewable energy.

With the partnership, 7-Eleven Philippines becomes the country’s largest retail network participating in the program, with more stores expected to transition as the company expands nationwide.

“Our collaboration with ACEN RES is a cornerstone of Philippine Seven Corporation’s growth and sustainability strategy,” said Jose Victor Paterno.

“Recent global energy disruptions have highlighted the vulnerability of local businesses. By shifting to indigenous renewable sources, we are effectively shielding our operations from market volatility,” he added.

Eric Francia said the partnership marks a milestone in advancing the country’s transition to a more sustainable and energy-secure future.
