Anya Resort Tagaytay has started sourcing electricity from geothermal power under a supply agreement with First Gen. The resort, owned by Roxaco Land, switched in late September 2026 and will draw power from First Gen's Unified Leyte geothermal facilities. Management says the move supports lower carbon intensity in its electricity use while helping manage energy costs across its 7.2-hectare leisure estate. First Gen's renewable portfolio includes 31 facilities totaling about 1,700 MW across geothermal, hydro, solar, and wind. The company is also providing energy efficiency and behind-the-meter services as part of the arrangement. The deal is an example of a commercial establishment using a corporate renewable supply agreement instead of building its own generation.

Anya Resort in Tagaytay signed a supply deal with First Gen for geothermal power from Unified Leyte. They switched in late September. The resort says it cuts carbon intensity and manages energy costs. First Gen also sells efficiency services. Good example of a commercial customer going renewable without building anything.

Nice to see a hospitality business do this. The interesting part is whether the geothermal rate stays competitive over the contract term. Article doesn't say the price or length of the deal. Would like to see that detail.

Geothermal from Leyte to Tagaytay means a long transmission haul. Wheeling charges and line losses matter. The resort is buying energy, not capacity. Would be useful to know if First Gen delivers via the grid or a direct connection.

Corporate renewable supply agreements are growing in the PH, but the regulatory path matters. Under the CSP rules, distribution utilities handle procurement. A private supply deal like this works because it's not a utility sale. More businesses will follow if the rules stay clear.

They mention energy efficiency as a priority. That's the bigger lever for a hotel. Geothermal handles the supply side, but reducing demand lowers the bill more. Would like to see what efficiency measures they actually installed.
