TAGUIG CITY, Mar. 7 The Department of Energy (DOE) has already drafted the Implementing Guidelines (IG) of the Philippine Energy Labeling Program (PELP) as part of the implementation of Republic Act 11285 or the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Act, including its Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR).
The guidelines were initially presented during the virtual public consultation last 2 October 2020 for inputs and comments from various stakeholders. With the recommendations received from the industry, as well as from World Trade Organization (WTO) member countries, said IG was further refined and presented during the recently concluded 2nd Virtual Public Consultation on 26 February 2021.
Energy Secretary Alfonso G. Cusi thanked those who participated in last week’s public consultation, saying their inputs will greatly help the promotion of energy efficiency and conservation as a “national way of life” among Filipinos.
