The Energy Department, in partnership with the European Union, held a second EU- Philippines Meeting on Energy Wednesday and discussed initiatives on energy efficiency.
The event, with the theme “Energy Efficiency to Boost Economic Growth,” was held at the New World Hotel in Makati City.
EU Ambassador to the Philippines Guy Ledoux, House energy committee chairman Henedina Abad and Energy Undersecretary Loreta Ayson opened the event.
Ambassadors from the EU member states to the Philippines, officials from different government agencies as well as leaders and heads from the academe, industry, private sector, and civil society participated in the high-level meeting.
The event was part of the EU’s Switch policy support component that promotes energy efficiency and conservation programs as well as clean energy and green growth policies in the Philippines through a P180-million grant to the government.
The first EU-Philippines meeting on energy held last year focused on the issue of Renewable Energy in the country and set the scene for future cooperation on energy between the Philippines and the EU. source
