A follow through on the Manila leg of E-Power Mo! conference, the Department of Energy (DOE) will hold the Energy Investment Forum and Stakeholders Conference: E-Power Mo! Cebu on Thursday, September 7, at the Marco Polo Hotel, Cebu City.

Energy Secretary Alfonso G. Cusi and other DOE officials will be present in the Cebu leg of the E-Power Mo! conference, which will be attended by various energy stakeholders, including energy companies from the power, renewable energy, coal, petroleum, natural gas, alternative vehicles and energy-efficiency industries; partners from the national government agencies; energy associations and students, among others.

Recognizing the public’s vital role in the energy chain, the DOE, in partnership with the Presidential Communications Operations Office (PCOO) and Philippine Information Agency (PIA), has launched the “E-Power Mo!” on July 12 at the Philippine International Convention Center (PICC) in Pasay City.

Cusi said there is a “need to send across the message of the energy sector to the entire energy chain, from the industry players down to the general public”.

A conference for energy consumers and stakeholders, “E-Power Mo!” aims to provide essential information on the fast-evolving developments in the energy sector, proper energy utilization and energy resiliency.

E-Power Mo! also launched President Duterte’s energy road map and policies designed to empower the consumers.

This is to develop and utilize the energy resources available to Filipinos for wealth creation and global competition (E-Power Mo!), and to undertake safety and savings measures through energ- efficiency (E-Safety Mo!).

Also to secure the delivery of quality, reliable and affordable energy services (E-Secure Mo!); and empower consumers through a wide range of options in utilizing conventional, renewable and alternative energy sources (E-Diskarte Mo!).

The DOE is aggressively implementing this strategic energy information, education and communication campaign so that ordinary Filipinos would be encouraged to use energy responsibly and would be partners in advancing the country’s economic growth.
