Partner(s): Department of Energy

NRE sources are abundant throughout the country but relatively under-utilized.   Innovative financing and market delivery mechanisms will play a role in providing the capital and access to the market required to meet the expansion targets.  This project is for the Philippines to address the foregoing barriers that have persisted despite various Government and NRE projects in the past, to enhance the national capacity on integrated energy planning and to contribute to and coordinate with ongoing NRE activities.  The project will achieve these goals primarily by building capacity in three major areas: a) policy and planning; b) market preparation and implementation; c) indigenous technology development support.
