Energy group calls for stronger efficiency policy

ENERGY efficiency stakeholders are seeking from the Department of Energy (DOE) a stronger policy on accelerating Philippine compliance toward a low carbon energy sector.

The Philippine Energy Efficiency Alliance Inc. (PE2), composed of 27 companies, seeks an expanded coverage of the proposed DOE circular to be released by the end of March. An expanded circular would include obligations of medium and large energy consumers may potentially serve as a bridge policy while efforts are underway to pass an urgent legislation.
