McDonald’s Philippines has shifted the electricity supply of 36 restaurants in the Visayas to COREnergy, Inc., the retail electricity supplier of Vivant Corp., according to BusinessWorld.

COREnergy will supply electricity to 36 McDonald’s outlets across Cebu and Negros Island, the company said in a statement on Tuesday. The move is part of McDonald’s efforts to reduce power costs and improve energy efficiency in its operations.

The shift aligns with broader retail industry trends where large chains are seeking more competitive energy rates and sustainable power sources to manage operational expenses.
