COREnergy— Your Trustworthy Partner for Sustainable and Cost-Effective Energy Solutions

Are you a large power consumer? How much is your energy consumption per month? Are you tired of being at the mercy of unpredictable energy prices and unreliable power sources? Worry no more. At COREnergy Inc, customizable energy solutions that can help your business navigate the ever-changing economic landscape is now within your reach.

Established in 2012, a wholly owned unit of Vivant Energy Corp., a subsidiary of Vivant Corporation (VVT), Corenergy’s primary purpose is to buy, source and obtain electricity from generating companies or from the wholesale electricity spot market (WESM) to sell, broker, market or aggregate electricity to the end-users in the contestable market. COREnergy started as a licensed Retail Electricity Supplier (RES), providing contestable customers with their energy of choice. But as the needs and challenges of its customers evolved, so did COREnergy's business offerings. Today, COREnergy offers a comprehensive range of solutions, including retail electricity, distributed solar, and engineering services.

"We offer access to energy solutions that include solar, which is widely accepted as an option to reduce and manage cost-effectively. We cover the entire Philippines and we aspire to support the needs of various industries throughout the country." COREnergy President, Mr. Al Douglas Villaos, sums it up best.

Under the Retail Competition and Open Access (RCOA), large power consumers can directly source their power from a licensed Retail Electricity Suppliers (RES). COREnergy offers contestable customers the most economical energy at lower generation charges, with the option to tap renewable energy to help them achieve their sustainability goals.

The Retail Competition and Open Access (RCOA) introduces retail competition to the power industry. The retail market has created an opportunity for electricity end-users with an average peak demand of at least 1MW to secure retail supply contracts from licensed Retail Electricity Suppliers (RES) or Local RES. PEMC, as the Central Registration Body, is determined to cater to the needs of its expanding clientele with the entry on new contestable customers as the threshold level is further reduced to 750 kilowatts (kW). At this level and beyond, new entities or business function called Aggegators shall be allowed to supply electricity to end-users whose combined demand within a contiguous area is at least 750 kW. This development in the retail market is envisioned to herald more quality, security, and affordability in electricity trade and promote further transparency, dynamism and competition in the WESM.

And speaking of sustainability, COREnergy knows that many businesses consider the investment required to be sustainable a hindrance. That's why it offers flexible financing schemes for distributed solar solutions. With distributed solar, businesses can generate their own solar power on their facilities without upfront costs, making them less vulnerable to the fluctuating energy prices in the grid.

But COREnergy doesn't just stop at energy supply. It also manages other power system requirements of various industries to help ensure safe and continuous power under its Engineering Solutions services. Its team of experts with decades-long experience in various segments of the power value chain can help optimize electricity supply, generate real peso savings, and improve the reliability of equipment and the overall safety of workplaces.

JN Cacao: Where Cacao, Cocoa and Chocolates meet

 

 

Do you ever feel like the only thing that will boost your mood is a big bar of chocolate? I think we all do at some point. Chocolate is known for being comfort food, the snack we reach for on the good and bad days.

 

Chocolate comes from the tropical cacao tree. The cacao bean, the rawest form of chocolate, can be harvested and consumed directly (cacao), roasted and turned into powder (cocoa) or made into chocolate.

 

Cultivated more than 3,000 years ago by Maya, Toltec and Aztec peoples, cacao, scientifically called as Theobroma cacao is a tropical evergreen tree grown for its edible seeds, whose scientific name means “food of the gods” in Greek. 

 

Cocoa was first introduced in the Philippines by the Spanish colonizers four centuries ago.

The country was the first in Asia to actively produce cocoa beans in the latter part of the 1600s in San Jose, Batangas. By the 1950s, cocoa became a highly profitable commodity as

commercial cocoa farms and processing facilities were established. In 1980, cacao production expanded as tax incentives were offered by the Philippine government for large scale investments, particularly in Mindanao where the land and climate were suitable for the crop. 

 

The Philippine cacao industry is composed mostly of smallholder farmers who supply dry cacao beans to the processors/manufacturers. Manufacturers are mostly small to medium scale enterprises. Some of the larger players are into cocoa powder and cocoa butter.

 

With the increasing demand of cacao beans and other cacao products both from the local and global market, the Filipinos are becoming more innovative and creative and even collaborated with international brands (Krispy Kreme, Bubble Tea, etc.), to boost brand awareness. Unsurprisingly, the Cebuano ingenuity is not far behind. Lo and behold! a Cebu City based enterprise shares the market too. JN Cacao is one of emerging local artisanal Philippine chocolate brands that make high quality chocolates, including tableas, nibs and cocoa powder. 

 

Jansel Navarro, the Managing Owner and Agripreneur, founded JN CACAO with a simple goal: to provide high-quality, authentic chocolate to the world. His passion and commitment to quality have earned JN Cacao recognition in various news and media outlets, and even earned them the distinction of Asia's Best Authentic Cacao Delicacies. Not only that, JN Cacao also caters to the patrons of healthy lifestyle through their cocoa infused organic stevia leaves powder, keto snacks, and even skincare and personal care products made with their signature cacao glow as value-added chocolate products. 

Keeping up with the trends, JN Cacao is 100% online, making it easy for customers and resellers to shop from anywhere and have their products delivered nationwide and internationally. 

 

Sir Jansel and his team strongly believe that quality should never be compromised. Their commitment to excellence and their wide selection of products are a testament that chocolate-based products must be tailored to the needs of the ever-growing and evolving consumers.
