This approach proved instrumental in helping McDonald&#x27;s save on electricity costs for its 24/7 branches, essential for fulfilling their all-day McDelivery services. <div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/Mcdonalds Pagsanjan - Drone Photo 1.png" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt="Photo source: Meralco, McDonald&#x27;s Philippines"/><span id="isPasted" style="color:rgb(65, 65, 65);letter-spacing:normal;orphans:2;text-align:left;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;white-space:normal;background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial;display:inline !important;float:none">Photo source: Meralco, McDonald&#x27;s Philippines </div>Furthering their commitment, solar panel installations are underway at McDonald&#x27;s Petron KM44 and McDonald&#x27;s Pagsanjan branches. Once fully operational with the support of Meralco&#x27;s subsidiary, MSpectrum, Inc., these branches are estimated to yield annual savings of approximately P450K and P880K, respectively.In a bid to advance GADC&#x27;s sustainability goals, Meralco integrated its solutions by combining solar installations and POP with energy-efficient technologies such as inverter appliances and LED lighting, fostering overall operational efficiency. <div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/MeralcoMcdo2.png" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt=" From left to right: Meralco Enterprise Commercial and Conglomerates Industry Lead for Hospitality &amp; Financial Institutions Bezie Mina, McDonald&#x27;s Philippines President &amp; CEO Kenneth Yang, Meralco Enterprise Commercial and Conglomerates Relationship Manager Allan Anson.
