First Gen has signed a deal to provide Eastern Communications with 1.3MW of geothermal energy from its Unified Leyte generating plants in Tongonan and Kananga, Leyte. This supply will power Eastern Communications' headquarters and technical operation centers.

The partnership is enabled by the Philippine government's Retail Competition and Open Access program, allowing large electricity consumers to contract directly with power suppliers. First Gen, the Philippines' largest renewable energy developer, targets a generation capacity of 13GW by 2030 and operates 13 geothermal power stations with a total capacity of 1,189.34MW.
