The signing ceremony was led by Mayor Vico Sotto, along with Sangguniang Panlungsod Committee on Technology, Communication, and Energy Chairperson Ryan Enriquez, and PERPI Executive Board President Angelo Azura Jimenez, together with other representatives from the local government and PERPI, on Friday, March 13, at the Temporary Pasig City Hall.
The agreement aims to boost the capacity of the local government in promoting programs and initiatives for efficient energy use and conservation, with the help of technical assistance and capacity development training programs from PERPI.
The agreement will also support the development of projects, the conduct of research, and the formulation of policies to help the city in areas such as renewable energy, climate change adaptation, sustainable community development, green jobs, and eco-enterprise development.
The local government said that the programs to be launched will be overseen by the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Technical Working Group, led by the City Engineering Office, in coordination with the Sangguniang Panlungsod for proposed ordinances and other offices and departments.
PERPI is a government research institute established under the Philippine Energy Research and Policy Institute Act (RA 11572), mandated to conduct independent and multidisciplinary research in the energy sector and develop policies to ensure energy security, equity, and sustainability in the country.
