On April 12, 2019, Republic Act No. 11285 or the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Act was passed into law to institutionalize fundamental policies on energy efficiency and conservation (EE&C), promoting the efficient and judicious use of all energy resources, and increasing the use of energy-efficient and renewable energy technologies.[1]<\/sup><\/a> The law is intended to promote and encourage the development and utilization of efficient renewable energy technologies and systems to ensure optimal use and sustainability of the country\u2019s energy resources, and to ensure a market-driven approach to energy efficiency, sufficiency, and sustainability in the country.[2]<\/sup><\/a> One way of doing this is directing national government agencies and instrumentalities from implementing energy efficient practices. The law also expressly emphasizes the role of all energy end-users. Section 8 of the law states that all energy end-users shall use every available energy resource efficiently and promote the development and utilization of new and alternative energy efficient technologies and systems, including renewable energy technologies and systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Policies that are more directed towards improving the distribution sector also contribute to or affect access to energy. One such policy is the Uniform Monthly Electric Bill Framework[3]<\/sup><\/a> issued on September 14, 2018. The framework provides a mandatory format for all entities issuing electricity bills to reflect all corresponding charges, including but not limited to generation, transmission and ancillary services, distribution, supply and metering services, universal charges and bill deposits, subject to the rules and regulations that the ERC may promulgate.[4]<\/sup><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Energy Efficiency and Conservation Act On April 12, 2019, Republic Act No. 11285 or the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Act was passed into law to institutionalize fundamental policies on energy efficiency and conservation (EE&C), promoting the efficient and judicious use of all energy resources, and increasing the use of energy-efficient and renewable energy technologies.[1] The […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[15],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/solarsolutions.ph\/portal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/654"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/solarsolutions.ph\/portal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/solarsolutions.ph\/portal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/solarsolutions.ph\/portal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/solarsolutions.ph\/portal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=654"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/solarsolutions.ph\/portal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/654\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":655,"href":"https:\/\/solarsolutions.ph\/portal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/654\/revisions\/655"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/solarsolutions.ph\/portal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=654"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/solarsolutions.ph\/portal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=654"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/solarsolutions.ph\/portal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=654"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
