22 May 2026 – 7-Eleven Philippines, operated by exclusive licensor Philippine Seven Corporation (PSC), is switching over 1,450 of its stores across Metro Manila, Batangas, Pangasinan, Bulacan, Cavite, and Nueva Ecija to 100% renewable energy through an electricity supply agreement with ACEN RES, the retail electricity arm of the Ayala group.
This move is enabled through the government’s Retail Aggregation Program (RAP), which allows electricity consumers to aggregate or cluster their demand to access retail electricity supply. Through RAP, businesses with multiple sites, such as 7-Eleven Philippines, can directly negotiate supply arrangements with licensed retail electricity suppliers like ACEN RES and transition more efficiently to renewable energy.
With this partnership, 7-Eleven Philippines becomes the largest retail network in the country to participate in the RAP, with more stores expected to transition to renewable energy as the company continues to expand nationwide.
“Our collaboration with ACEN RES is a cornerstone of Philippine Seven Corporation’s growth and sustainability strategy,” said Jose Victor Paterno, Chairman of Philippine Seven Corporation. “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. Beyond resilience, we are aligning ourselves with an increasingly eco-conscious consumer base. This transition doesn’t just green our power—it invites our customers to join us on a meaningful journey toward a sustainable future.”
“We want to make the shift to renewable energy simple and accessible for businesses,” said Eric Francia. “Having 7-Eleven Philippines join the RAP marks an important milestone in advancing the country’s transition to a more sustainable and energy-secure future.”
ACEN RES sources its supply from ACEN’s portfolio of solar, wind, and geothermal plants across the Philippines. Based on the latest report of the Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) on the competitive retail electricity market, ACEN RES remains the country’s leading provider of renewable energy supply to businesses.
To mark the partnership, ACEN RES awarded 7-Eleven Philippines its “Powered by Renewable Energy” badge, recognizing companies that have chosen to power their operations with 100% renewable energy.
