The Department of Energy (DOE) is prioritizing end-user aggregation and alternative replacement power options as key elements in the revised Green Energy Option Program (GEOP) rules. This was presented during the Choosing Renewables Conference series in Laguna, Leyte, Bacolod, and Cagayan de Oro last July and August 2024, aimed at addressing critical challenges faced by GEOP end-users and suppliers.

The third leg of the Choosing Renewables conference series in Bacolod City on 14-15 August 2024 organized an information campaign on various voluntary renewable energy programs and a public consultation on draft GEOP policy improvements. The event was organized by the DOE, The Climate Reality Project Philippines, and the Institute for Climate and Sustainable Cities (ICSC).

The second leg of the Choosing Renewables conference series, held in Tacloban City last 07-08 August 2024, brought together business entities, electric cooperatives, distribution utilities, and local government units to promote climate-friendly energy solutions.
