The Department of Energy (DOE) will be hosting the 6th E-Power Mo Conference on Tuesday, 26 June 2018 at the agency's headquarters in Bonifacio Global City.

The event, which will focus on “Developing Energy Resilient Philippines,” seeks to broaden public awareness on the crucial role it plays. That is not only in protecting the physical safety of their families, but in ensuring that homes, communities and businesses are able to adapt to unforeseen situations and have access to the uninterrupted supply of energy services. 

"We continue to rally for consumer empowerment in the energy industry by providing fresh insights on various issues," DOE Secretary Alfonso G. Cusi said, "Of course, the government is working hard to establish the appropriate energy resiliency measures.”

There will be six breakout sessions during the conference that will cover topics on downstream oil and natural gas; upstream oil and gas; renewable energy; power; alternative fuels and energy efficiency; and the consumer sector.

The E-Power Mo campaign of the DOE is in partnership with the Presidential Communications Operations Office, the Philippine Information Agency and the B-LEADERS Project of USAID.

Its four tenets summarize the energy policy agenda of President Rodrigo R. Duterte:

1. (E-POWER MO) Develop and utilize energy resources available to Filipinos for wealth creation and global competition;

2. (E-SAFETY MO) Undertake safety and savings measures through energy efficiency;

3. (E-SECURE MO) Secure the delivery of quality, reliable and affordable energy services; and

4. (E-DISKARTE MO) Empower consumers through a wide range of options in utilizing conventional, renewable and alternative energy sources.

“Lahat tayo, ama, ina, kapatid, anak - mga ordinaryong mamamayan - lahat tayo mayroong mahalagang maiaambag para sa patuloy na pagpapatatag ng ating lipunan (All of us, fathers, mothers, siblings and children - ordinary citizens - we all have meaningful contributions to the strengthening of our society). Our peace of mind will be rooted in the knowledge that we would have continuous access to critical resources, even in the aftermath of a calamity. This is what we will be highlighting for this E-Power Mo Conference,” Cusi concluded.
