FIRST GEN CORP. will build a solar rooftop facility for the production plant of Goldilocks Bakeshop, Inc. in Lapu-Lapu City, Cebu, as the company seeks to cut electricity costs and increase its use of renewable energy.
In a statement on Thursday, First Gen said it would construct a 516-kilowatt-peak solar photovoltaic system for Goldilocks’ commissary facility in Cebu.
The project forms part of a solar power purchase agreement signed by the two companies in November 2025.
Under the deal, First Gen will build, install and maintain the rooftop solar system for 10 years.
The Lapu-Lapu production facility supplies Goldilocks stores in Cebu, Bohol, Dumaguete, Masbate and Siquijor.
“Our solar power gives us a level of comfort in terms of power supply stability and security while contributing to environment preservation,” said Marilou Plando, Goldilocks head of manufacturing for the Visayas.
Mark Malabanan, First Gen head of solar and commercial business, said the company seeks to deepen its partnership with Goldilocks as both companies pursue decarbonization goals.
Founded in 1966, Goldilocks operates more than 1,000 bakeshops in the Philippines and has expanded into the US and Canada.
First Gen operates renewable energy facilities nationwide, including hydro, geothermal, solar and wind plants. — Sheldeen Joy Talavera
