In its plan to unify energy projects in the Philippines, the Department of Energy is going to create a one-stop shop or inter-agency for power investments in the country, which is still quite afar from the process of formalization.


“Actually, yung one-stop shop, yung ginagawa namin it’s more on networking among agencies na dinadaanan lahat ng energy projects [Actually, regarding the one-stop shop, what we are doing is more on like a networking among agencies where all energy projects will be processed and looked at],” said Lisa Go, DOE head for investment promotions.

“So initially, kaya nga naglabas kami ng guidebook for investors, inuupuan namin yan together with representatives of all agencies involved sa process approval ng energy projects [Initially, the reason why we already gave investors guidebook is because we are in the process of talking with involved agencies’ representatives for the approval of their energy projects],” she said.

Go added that the next step is the formalization of this group.

“So yung next step namin siguro i-formalize yung grupo na ito para mafacilitate yung kunwari may permit problem yung isang company with one agency, pwedeng tawagan lang or e-mail [The next step maybe is to formalize this so that if ever a company would have a problem in its permit, they could just call or e-mail this one agency],” she noted.
