THE Philippine Energy Efficiency Alliance expects an accelerated progress in the Government Energy Management Program in the next few years after the Department of Energy reported that the program has yielded electricity savings of P205 million.
Prior to the EEC Act, or from 2017 to 2019, the government’s cumulative electricity savings stood at 5 million kWh, equivalent to over P51 million. Next, PE2 expects new procurement guidelines that would enable the flow of private capital and knowhow to public sector energy efficiency projects through energy service company performance contracts, public-private partnership transactions and joint-venture agreements,” he said.
