Mandarin Premier Hotels & Resorts Group has secured lower-cost power for its Boracay portfolio through a new partnership with PrimeRES Energy Corporation.
In a contract signing held recently at the Mandarin Bay Resort & Spa Convention Center, the licensed retail electricity supplier and hotel group formalized an agreement covering six separate Mandarin facilities under the Competitive Retail Electricity Market (CREM) and Retail Aggregation Program (RAP).
By grouping all properties into a single power contract, the hotel group pools their combined energy demand to achieve an aggregated load of approximately 1,200 kW (1.2 MW). This allows them to meet thresholds for more competitive, wholesale-style energy rates typically reserved for larger operations.
The RAP framework enables Mandarin to consolidate multiple smaller meters, resulting in significantly lower generation charges across the entire portfolio. The arrangement provides a more predictable and cost-effective energy strategy for their island operations.
PrimeRES has been at the forefront of rolling out RAP across Boracay’s hospitality sector, having previously signed partnerships under the program with Hennan Group of Resorts, Paradise Garden Resort Hotel & Convention Center Boracay, and most recently, La Carmela de Boracay Hotel and Convention Center.
The latest collaboration with Mandarin Premier Hotels marks a major development for the island’s tourism industry, demonstrating how large-scale resort groups can utilize the program to access institutional-grade pricing and improve bottom-line efficiency.
