Mary Mediatrix Medical Center partners with EEI Power Corporation for 376.2kWp Solar Rooftop System

In a groundbreaking move towards sustainable healthcare, Mary Mediatrix Medical Center (MMMC) and EEI Power Corporation recently signed a contract for the installation of a 376.2kWp solar PV rooftop system. The ceremony, held at the prestigious medical facility in Lipa City, marked a significant milestone in the pursuit of environmentally conscious and energy-efficient healthcare practices.

This collaboration between MMMC and EEI Power aims to harness clean and renewable energy to power a substantial portion of the former's operation. The 376.2kWp solar rooftop system will not only reduce the hospital's reliance on conventional power but also contribute to long-term cost savings, allowing for the reallocation of MMMC’s resources to enhance patient care and facility upgrades.

Comprised of 691 pieces of JA Solar 545 watts monocrystalline solar photovoltaic panels, the 376.2kWp solar PV rooftop system is estimated to produce 509,000kWh of clean energy annually. Through this project, MMMC is expected to reduce its carbon footprint by as much as 4,988 metric tons, which is equivalent to 5,955 trees planted and 86,751 liters of gasoline.

The signing ceremony was attended by key representatives from both Mary Mediatrix Medical Center and EEI Power, a testament to their shared vision for a sustainable future, aligning with global efforts to address climate change and promote green energy solutions.

Speaking at the ceremony, Jose Ronaldo H. Delos Santos, President and CEO of Mary Mediatrix Medical Center, expressed enthusiasm about the positive impact this project would have on the hospital's operations. He stated that “this collaboration with EEI Power aligns with our commitment as a healthcare organization to providing top-notch healthcare while doing our part in caring for the environment and helping this planet heal.”

For his part, EEI Power General Manager Salvador M. Salire, Jr. emphasized the importance of such partnerships in fostering a greener and more sustainable future. “In EEI Power, we are moved by our noble quest of ‘Powering the FUTURE Today!’ and it is such an honor that we are accorded the privilege to partner with Mary Mediatrix Medical Center, ‘The Hub of Healthcare Experts,’ for this worthwhile endeavor,” Mr. Salire affirmed.

Installation works for this solar rooftop project is scheduled to commence immediately, with both MMMC and EEI Power working diligently to ensure its successful implementation. As the healthcare industry continues to evolve, initiatives like these underscore the importance of incorporating sustainable practices to create a healthier and more resilient future.
