In its continuing commitment to enhance the quality of life in the remaining unserved and underserved areas in the country, the Department of Energy (DOE) is pleased to announce the conduct of the 2nd round of Competitive Selection Process (CSP) for Microgrid System Provider (MGSP) for the electrification of forty-one (41) lots composed initially of seventy-five (75) identified unserved and underserved areas of the country.
The 75 identified areas covering a total of 12,212 households, were part of the 98 identified areas clustered into 49 lots previously offered during the 1st round of the MGSP-CSP in November 2023. These areas are viable for MGSP given their higher demand, and most of the households are not widely dispersed.
The 2nd round of MGSP-CSP will follow a streamlined and transparent process that will allow MGSP proponents to survey the areas and prepare their proposal according to the following schedule:
