During a recent strategic business review session, Meralco outlined its plans to enhance infrastructure support for Ayala Land’s upcoming projects, solidifying a strong partnership aimed at bolstering the economy.

Meralco is set to build new substations within several Ayala Land developments, particularly in Circuit Makati and Parklinks Estate, which straddle Quezon City and Pasig City.

This move is part of Meralco’s strategic effort to ensure robust and reliable power supply for Ayala Land's burgeoning developments.

“In Ayala Land, we are very fortunate that we are able to sell the product on the strength of the brand. The truth is, that promise comes with a lot of responsibility and for us to be able to carry this out, we need partners. I cannot overemphasize the importance of Meralco to our commitments to our customers - whether these are communities that are starting or communities that are already thriving,” she said.

Ferdinand O. Geluz, Meralco's Senior Vice President and Chief Revenue Officer, echoed this sentiment, highlighting the successful collaboration between Meralco and Ayala Land over the years.

“Meralco’s long-standing collaboration with Ayala Land resulted in many successful endeavors over the years. With the upcoming projects involving the construction of substations, Ayala Land will enable us to fulfill our commitment in helping our communities grow by providing reliable and adequate electric service to more customers,” he said.
