SM Prime supports Manila Observatory's clean energy, climate and weather prediction system

SM Prime Holdings Inc. has recently inked a partnership agreement with the Manila Observatory for the 'High Definition Clean Energy, Climate, and Weather Forecasts for the Philippines' Project, a data-driven system that utilizes automated weather stations (AWS) and high-performance computer modeling to provide clean energy and weather forecasts up to five days in advance.

The five-year partnership was officiated through a simple Memorandum of Agreement signing ceremony that took place on Sept. 23, 2021 via Zoom. Key representatives from various organizations that share SM Prime's disaster risk resilience (DRR) advocacy also attended the event.
