Marcos energizes full electrification bid
President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. has pledged to electrify all remaining Filipino households and implement significant reforms in the energy sector by 2028.
He noted that his administration has already provided electricity to 2.5 million homes since taking office, with over 5 million homes initially lacking power.
The government aims to connect an additional million households using solar home systems by 2028, with the DOE and NEA spearheading these efforts.
Furthermore, nearly 200 power plants are anticipated to be completed in the next three years, capable of powering millions of homes and businesses.
Despite global recognition for renewable energy commitments, Marcos acknowledged persistent issues with power interruptions and high electricity costs for Filipinos.
