DOE orders gov’t agencies to cut energy bills by 10%

All concerned government agencies are being mandated to cut their energy bills by at least 10 percent via adhering to energy efficiency and conservation measures in their operations, according to an advisory issued by the Department of Energy.

And since the current dilemma of the country is the war-triggered oil crisis, the instruction of the DOE sets sharp focus on efficient fuel utilization of the government entities. Plus, on the country’s other predicament over thin power supply, the DOE indicated that the GEMP-warranted energy efficiency mandates can “help secure the availability of electricity during the hot dry season, especially during the national and local elections.”

Citing projections penciled in by its Energy Utilization Management Bureau , the energy department emphasized that “the successful implementation of these measures is seen to reduce electricity demand in the Luzon grid by up to 24 megawatts, which is equivalent to P840 million cost of establishing a diesel power plant.”
