NOVEMBER 29,2018
The Department of Energy (DOE) under
Secretary Alfonso G. Cusi signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with
the Provincial Government of Palawan (PGP) on 28 November for the Development
for Renewable Energy Applications Mainstreaming and Market Sustainability
(DREAMS) project.
Undersecretary Felix William B.
Fuentebella, who represented the DOE, emphasized the importance of ensuring
energy efficiency, safety, security and ‘diskarte’, as enshrined in the
Department’s E-Power Mo campaign.
With the vision of providing stable
and strong energy supply in Palawan, the DOE commended the PGP for positively
responding to the call of the DREAMS Project.
The MOU signing was in support of
the DOE's project to boost localized planning in the development and usage of
renewable energy (RE), following the successful series of consultations with
the provincial governments of Palawan (4 September) and Iloilo (26 September).
The DREAMS project aims to provide
efficient and reliable energy services, develop indigenous and clean sources of
energy, and contribute to the reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions
through the capacity building of the stakeholders and the consumers.
