Meat firm taps solar energy

NORTH Star Meat Merchants Inc., one of the biggest fresh frozen food retailers in the country, has signed a deal with WEnergy Power Pilipinas Inc., a partner company of Singapore-based WEnergy Global Pte Ltd., to provide solar photovoltaic (PV) energy infrastructure for their cold storage facility complex in Bulacan.

The project adds a sustainable solution to the overall business operations of North Star, one that aligns with their vision to reduce the carbon footprint and costs of its supply chain of end-to-end fresh frozen meat across the Philippines.
