The Department of Energy has expanded the coverage of the Philippine Energy Labeling Program in a bid to “further promote the energy consumers’ welfare.”
The PELP provides for a mandatory national labeling system for ECPs based on the energy performance of products. It aims to transform the market and encourage the shift in consumer behavior towards using energy-efficient products and technologies by empowering them through the information displayed on the labels at points of sale.
“With conservation and efficient utilization of energy among the major strategies of the government to realize energy self-sufficiency and reduce environmental impacts of energy generation and utilization, we are now expanding the coverage,” Energy Secretary Raphael Lotilla said. MEPP is a minimum energy performance set by the DOE for specific energy-consuming products. The star ratings on the energy label correspond to the product’s energy performance. The lower limit of the one-star efficiency range corresponds to the prescribed MEPP. The higher the energy performance, the greater number of stars, which indicates that the product is more efficient.
