SNAP-Magat supports school solar roof project in Ramon, Isabela

SN Aboitiz Power-Magat (SNAP-Magat) demonstrated its commitment to sustainable practices by delivering and activating rooftop solar panels with a 3.3KW capacity at Gen. Emilio Aguinaldo National High School (GEANHS) on February 21, 2024. The collaborative effort between the school's General Parent-Teacher-Community Association (GPTCA) and SNAP-Magat volunteers brought this project to fruition.

Daryl Homer Ramos, Assistant Vice President and Plant Manager at SNAP-Magat, emphasized that the donation is expected to reduce the school's monthly electricity expenses by approximately Php 5,000. These savings can now be redirected to support the school's 800 staff and students. GEANHS, one of the largest public schools in Ramon, Isabela, stands to benefit significantly. Ramos stated, "By supporting our communities and promoting sustainable practices, we remain true to our mission to energize a sustainable future."

The installation of rooftop solar panels not only provides a renewable and sustainable power source but also alleviates concerns about power outages for both school management and students. The GPTCA facilitated the acquisition of solar batteries and inverters, while SNAP-Magat volunteers have committed to offering installation and maintenance support to ensure the optimal functioning of the solar panels.

This initiative not only underscores SNAP-Magat and GEANHS' dedication to sustainable development but also aligns with the United Nations' 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, specifically in supporting goals related to quality education and affordable, clean energy.
