THE Energy Regulatory Commission
(ERC) has partnered with the Ateneo Law School to complement each other’s
capabilities and resources in jointly developing, promoting, implementing and
sustaining academic activities relating to the country’s power industry.
In a statement on Thursday, ERC
Chairperson and Chief Executive Officer Agnes T. Devanadera described as a “new
milestone” the regulator’s partnership with the Fr. Joaquin G. Bernas, S.J.
Institute for Continuing Legal Education — Ateneo Law School in Makati City.
“As the sole regulator of the
electric power industry, the ERC needs to keep itself abreast with the latest
technologies and undertakes initiatives to enhance competencies of its staff
and increase the knowledge base of all industry stakeholders,” she said.
The opening of the Bernas Institute
and the launching of the ERC Academy were formalized through the signing of a
memorandum of understanding (MoU) on Sept. 12. The MoU will serve as the
foundation for the two parties to enter into specific project agreements.
The ERC and the Bernas Institute
agreed to cooperate in pursuing various “necessary and appropriate”
energy-related study sessions such as, but not limited to joint research and
development projects; joint symposia, trainings, seminars, workshops and
conferences; and joint publications as well as exchange of data and
information.
