Wazzup Pilipinas!

Department of Energy Senior Undersecretary Jesus Cristino P. Posadas delivered the welcome remarks on behalf of Secretary Alfonso G. Cusi during the opening of the Philippines Mini-grid Business-to-Business (B2B) Forum. The three-day event was launched Wednesday, 19 September, at the Manila Hotel, One Rizal Park, Manila.

In his speech, Cusi encouraged forum participants to focus on innovative electrification solutions not only to help expand electricity services but also ensure the most reliable and cost-effective technologies and services to the unserved and underserved areas as the country scales up the utilization of clean energy.

The forum aims to identify opportunities for investments in rural electrification through mini-grids and renewable energy, share knowledge of innovative technical solutions and link key players in the Philippine energy sector with international mini-grid experts and potential financiers.

The event was organized by the Department of Energy and Alliance for Rural Electrification with the support of the European Union through its Access to Sustainable Energy Programme.
