DOE To Hold Forum To Boost Energy Investments In PH

The Department of Energy (DOE) will be conducting the last of its series of investment fora in the country, in view of promoting investment opportunities in the energy sector.

The Luzon Energy Investment Forum will be held on 05 December 2013 at the Intercontinental Hotel in Makati City. DOE previously conducted an Investment Forum for Mindanao last September and a similar forum for Visayas last October.

Aside from tackling energy investments opportunities in the country, resource speakers from various energy industries will give talks on different energy scenarios, measures, and experiences including but not limited to regulatory framework and financing facilities of energy projects.

The said forum will be attended by participants from different government agencies, private sector, financial institutions, donor agencies, generation companies, private distribution utilities, companies, and electric cooperatives.

The Luzon Energy Investment Forum is one of the main activities of the DOE in its celebration of the National Energy Consciousness Month (NECM) this December.

NECM is a month-long celebration to increase public awareness on energy-related campaigns, programs and policies of the government, pursuant to Proclamation No. 1427.
