PROJECT OBJECTIVE

This study addresses strategies for promoting sustainable end-use electricity efficiency activities within the framework of the Philippines power sector reform and the anticipated demand management activities. The main objective of the study is to help the Philippines government to develop sustainable end-use energy conservation and efficiency activities (i.e., an end-use energy efficiency market) by using a combined demonstration project and training program that would act as a 'catalyst' for the emergence of an end-use energy efficiency market. The design of the recommended demonstration project will take into account the past experience of energy conservation and efficiency improvement activities in the country, the ongoing power sector reform, and interest among government and utility company officials in managing electricity demand.
