MANILA — Discovery Primea hotel and residences, one of Metro Manila’s most iconic luxury developments, has signed a strategic partnership with Adventenergy, Inc. (AdventEnergy), one of AboitizPower’s retail electricity supply (RES) arms, to enhance its energy reliability and sustainability initiatives.
Developed by JTKC Land and managed by Discovery Hospitality Corporation (DHC), Discovery Primea is recognized for its high standards in both residential and hospitality experiences. This new partnership with AdventEnergy marks Discovery Primea’s transition from the captive power market to the competitive retail electricity space—an important step toward long-term cost efficiency and energy resilience. Under the agreement, AdventEnergy will deliver customized energy solutions tailored to the property’s needs, including reliable power supply and value-added services.
“This partnership is a reflection of our responsibility not only to our guests but to our residents and stakeholders as well,” said Christopher John Tiu, president and chairman of Discovery Primea Condominium Corporation and director of Discovery World Corporation (DWC). “As we continue to provide exceptional service and high standards of living, it is equally important that we evolve in the way we manage our resources—starting with smarter, more sustainable energy choices.”
“This partnership empowers us to future-proof our operations while staying true to our brand of heartfelt, world-class hospitality,” added David Pardo de Ayala, general manager of Discovery Primea. “Reliable energy is essential to delivering the seamless and meaningful experiences our guests deserve. We’re proud to take this step forward with a trusted partner like AdventEnergy.”
“Energy is intangible, but its impact is felt in every part of the guest experience,” said AdventEnergy president James Yu “We’re honored to be powering one of the country’s most respected residential and hospitality landmarks with consistent, innovative, and efficient supply solutions.”
Discovery Primea hotel and residences join a growing roster of premium commercial establishments that are leveraging the Energy Regulatory Commission’s Customer Choice Programs for improved service and operational advantage. The collaboration also includes an Electrical Thermography Service—a non-invasive diagnostic tool that detects potential electrical faults using thermal imaging, helping the property prevent issues before they occur.
The signing ceremony was held at Flame Restaurant, located on the 16th floor of Discovery Primea, and brought together key executives from all involved parties. Representing Aboitiz Power Corporation and AdventEnergy were Danel Aboitiz, president and CEO; James Yu, president; Gina Camacho-David, vice president and head of retail energy sales, solutions, and services; and Jonathan Cruz, assistant vice president for business development and strategy. From Discovery Primea, attendees included Christopher John Tiu, president and chairman of Discovery Primea Condominium Corporation and director of DWC; Jose “Jun” Parreño Jr., president of DWC and chief operating officer of DHC; and David Pardo de Ayala, general manager of Discovery Primea.
The agreement reflects both companies’ broader vision of collaborative innovation. For Discovery Primea, the partnership unlocks more than just energy savings—it positions the property to pursue future upgrades such as energy audits and smarter power management systems.
“Our goal is to evolve this from a supply arrangement into a deeper collaboration,” Yu added. “We see opportunities to bring even greater efficiencies and innovations to the hospitality space—and we’re excited to build that future with Discovery.”
The announcement comes at a time when energy flexibility is becoming increasingly critical for high-performance buildings and businesses. It also reinforces the alignment between premium real estate and the country’s growing RES sector—a dynamic that could shape industry adoption in the years ahead.To learn more about Discovery Primea hotel and residences and its commitment to exceptional living experiences in the heart of Makati, visit www.discoveryprimea.com.
