Energy Secretary Raphael Lotilla said Tuesday a green transition for the Philippines should neither add to public burden nor compromise economic growth.
“Green transition for a developing country like the Philippines must be a just transition. It must be a fair transition, and therefore we must avoid the burden of transferring climate transition to an already overburdened Philippine population,” Lotilla said in a forum organized by the Embassy of Sweden.
“The growth in demand will be replaced by renewable energy and more efficient power plants and cleaner sources of energy,” he said. The Department of Energy recently issued two circulars governing the renewable portfolio standards rules for both on-grid and off-grid areas that would further promote RE development in the country.
“While implementing the RPS On-Grid Rules and considering the latest consumer development in consumer development and in consumer empowerment, the DOE deemed it necessary to enhance the RPS policies and guidelines towards greater efficiency and effectiveness,” the circular said.
