DMCI Homes Pioneers Sustainable Energy Shift
- July 25, 2025
DMCI Homes has made history as the first real estate developer to join the Energy Regulatory Commission’s (ERC) Retail Aggregation Program (RAP), setting a precedent in the industry. This initiative reflects DMCI’s commitment to innovation and its continued efforts to enhance the quality of life for residents by offering more efficient and affordable energy solutions.
The company has officially joined the Competitive Retail Electricity Market (CREM) and the RAP, two government programs designed to give consumers more choices in how they source electricity. Through CREM, businesses that consume a minimum of 500 kilowatts of electricity are given the option to select their preferred power provider. RAP expands access to smaller consumers, such as residential buildings, by enabling them to combine their energy usage to meet the minimum participation requirement.
As part of the initiative, DMCI Homes is teaming up with MPower, the retail electricity unit of Meralco, to provide power to its properties. By combining the electricity demand of common areas in Rosewood Pointe (Taguig) and Tivoli Garden Residences (Mandaluyong), the company is leading the real estate sector in adopting the RAP model.
Several of DMCI’s other residential projects, including La Verti Residences, Sheridan Towers, One Castilla Place, Flair Towers, Zinnia Towers, and Tivoli Garden Residences, have also transitioned to CREM. These communities are now enjoying the benefits of MPower’s competitive energy rates.

Powering choice, fueling sustainability
The collaboration is projected to reduce electricity costs and enhance power reliability for more than 25,000 residents living in DMCI communities across Metro Manila.
“We, at MPower, fully support DMCI’s growing communities through energy cost optimization and our dependable services,” said Redel Domingo, MPower’s First Vice President and Head. He added, “We remain committed to advancing customer choice across industries while contributing to the country’s journey toward sustainable economic progress.”
Arturo Zamora, Vice President of DMCI Homes Property Management Corporation, emphasized the positive impact of the switch. “Our company and our residents are glad to be connected with MPower as our retail electricity supplier. The savings on electricity bills will go a long way toward helping our communities manage household expenses, while we continue to focus on our vision of creating eco-friendly, future-ready living spaces,” Zamora said in a company statement.
MPower commands over 25 percent of the competitive retail electricity market within Meralco’s service area, establishing itself as a major industry player.
DMCI Homes, a wholly owned subsidiary of DMCI Holdings Inc., is recognized as a top developer catering to the mid- to upper-mid-income segment in the Philippines.
