Palm Concepcion Power Corporation (PCPC) donated 248 solar-powered streetlamps worth P7.5 million to the town of Concepcion in Iloilo province.
The Solar Streetlights Project, during a virtual event last August 18, was officially turned over with the signing of a Deed of Donation by Concepcion Mayor Dr. Raul Banias and PCPC president and CEO Nicandro Fucoy.
The event was part of the week-long celebration of PCPC’s 4th year anniversary of commercial operations. The power firm operates the 135-megawatt CFBC power plant in the town.
“May these (solar street)lamps be signs of hope—light to our feet as we journey to the new normal. As PCPC celebrates its 4th year of commercial operations, we are committed to follow thru with our partnerships with Concepcion,” PCPC President and CEO Nicandro Fucoy said in his speech.
Fucoy also cited that PCPC takes it as their social responsibility to improve the economic and living conditions in their host community where their power plant is located.
“We thank PCPC for this brilliant project, (which is) a long sought dream by Concepcionanons. Thank you also for the sustained and enduring collaboration for the development of our municipality,” Mayor Banias said in his response.
The project started its mobilization in December 2019 in partnership with the Concepcion LGU and the project contractor ECOShift Corporation.
