UNDP, partners support Bohol's solar energy expansion

Through a historic Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) signing that signifies the fruition of a multi-stakeholder collaboration for local community development, the Pamilacan Island off the coast of Bohol will have access to an expanded off grid solar power facility that will provide a steady source of electricity to its more than 2,000 citizens and help lessen the community's dependence on diesel-powered generators.

With the support of the Department of Energy (DoE) and the Provincial Government of Bohol, social enterprise WeGen, Bohol Electric Cooperative (Boheco), Department of Education (DepEd), the women-led Pamilacan Solar Credit Cooperative, and the Barangay of Pamilacan signed a MoA to plan, implement, maintain, and operate the solar power system installed on the roof of Pamilacan High School.
