Increasing climate commitments worldwide have prompted transitions to low-carbon economies. In response to this, United States Agency for International Development Energy Secure Philippines Activity (USAID ESP) is supporting Manila Observatory’s project entitled “Enabling a Sustainable Energy Transition in Dumaguete City”. Through this project, the city government of Dumaguete will be able to better comply with Republic Act No. 11285 and the Government Energy Management Program (GEMP) through proper analysis, baselining, monitoring, and tracking, implementation, and communication.
The crux of the ESETD is the development of the Sustainable Energy Transition Roadmap. The roadmap was developed based on the Sustainable Energy Policy Blueprint and the Comprehensive Energy Audit, which are anchored on the implementation of the Republic Act No. 11285 and its Implementing Rules and Regulations, particularly the GEMP and Inter-Agency Energy Efficiency and Conservation Committee (IAEECC) Resolutions. This roadmap should serve as a starting point for Dumaguete City to further study these pathways and engage with its constituents for in-depth studies and consultations.
