The Department of Energy (DOE) on Saturday, Nov. 6, reiterated the country's commitment to gradually transition from fuel energy into clean energy as the country participates in the 2021 United Nations Climate Change Conference or COP26.

In a statement, the agency said "nothing has changed" with regards to the country's support for clean energy.

Among the things that DOE Sec. Alfonso Cusi promised to Alastair Totty, Charge d’ Affairs of the British Embassy, in his letter dated 03 November 2021 are the following:

"a. We commit to work together to make clean power the most affordable and accessible option globally, with ensuing economic and health benefits as we build back better from the COVID pandemic;

b. We commit to the following actions to drive this global transition forward, and we encourage others to make similar commitments:

#1. To rapidly scale up deployment of clean power generation and energy efficiency measures in our economies, and to support other countries to do the same, recognizing the leadership shown by countries making ambitious commitments, including through the Energy Transition Council.

#2. To rapidly scale up technologies and policies in this decade.

#3. To strengthen our domestic and international efforts to provide a robust framework of financial, technical, and social support to affected workers

c. We recognize that while significant progress has been made to realize our shared vision, our task is not yet complete, and we call on others to join us as we redouble our effort to accelerate the global energy transition over the coming years."

Cusi also reiterated the agency's call for a climate justice as he said, the country is bearing its worsening impact despite not being a major emitter of greenhouse gasses.

"Likewise, we wish to emphasize that energy security is foremost because our energy transition comes as a means to improve the lives of our people and our country’s economic development," he said.
