To reduce pressure on the grid, Philippine government urges citizens to install solar panels
January 15, 2024To mitigate the possible impact of the El Niño phenomenon on summer-season power and to reduce the dependence of households on the grid for electricity, the Philippine Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) is encouraging the public to use solar home systems.
The ERC noted that the licensing process for the installation of solar panels on homes has been simplified. In addition, the authority has partnered with various local governments to set up a one-stop office to facilitate applicants in obtaining permits for the installation of solar home systems.
The agency noted, "Applicants who want to obtain a licence no longer need to travel to the Energy Regulatory Commission's head office; they can go directly to the one-stop office of the local government and quickly go through the licence process."
Meanwhile, the authority will also work with the state-owned LandBank to provide assistance in funding for households interested in installing residential solar power, as well as develop projects to assist cooperatives in solving any energy problems that may arise during the dry season.
Earlier, the Philippine Department of Science and Technology (DOST) said the country will feel the strong effects of El Niño in the first or second quarter of 2024. It noted that 65 provinces in the country will face drought by the end of May.
President Marcos has previously stressed the importance of having a steady supply of water and electricity during El Niño.
