IN celebration of World Environment Day 2025, renewable energy (RE) solutions provider SN Aboitiz Power Group (SNAP) joined the fight against plastic pollution through collaborative cleanup and planting activities across its host communities.
Around 30 employees and volunteers of SNAP-Magat in Ramon, Isabela, marked the occasion with a vegetable planting activity on June 5 at the plant’s Gabion area, promoting food sustainability and green spaces within the Magat Hydro Electric Power Plant (HEPP) facility.
SNAP-Benguet also organized a cleanup drive at the Ambuklao and Binga hydroelectric power plants in Bokod and Itogon, Benguet. The event brought together 76 volunteers from diverse groups, including SNAP employees, contractors, residents, barangay officials, the 54th Infantry Brigade of the Philippine Army and representatives from the Tinongdan Indigenous Peoples Organization.
The cleanup drives in Ambuklao and Binga HEPPs collected and segregated a total of 31 sacks, or approximately 222 kilograms of plastic waste. Collected waste was turned over to a designated material recovery facility for proper disposal and recycling.
SNAP operates several key hydroelectric power plants in the following locations: Ambuklao and Binga in Benguet, with capacities of 112.5 megawatts (MW) and 140 MW, respectively; Magat on the Isabela-Ifugao border, with a nameplate capacity of 360 MW and a maximum capacity of 388 MW; the 8.5-MW Maris hydropower plant; and the 24-MW Magat battery energy storage facility in Isabela.
While SNAP operates the power generation aspects, the non-power components like dams and reservoirs are owned and managed by the government. SNAP is a joint venture between Scatec, a global RE solutions provider; and Aboitiz Power Corp., a major player in the Philippine power sector.
