The Institutional Services Department (ISD) Managers of the Electric Cooperatives (ECs) attended a two-day Consultative Meeting on 31 May 2022 and 1 June 2022 at the National Electrification Administration (NEA) Building, Quezon City.

NEA Deputy Administrator for EC Management Services Sector Atty. Omar M. Mayo and Institutional Development Department Manager Nollie B. Alamillo acknowledged and welcomed the EC representatives, prefacing the relevant topics of the gathering.

First on the agenda was Consumer Development and Protection Division Acting Manager Arnel P. Galarpe’s focus on the enhanced policy guidelines that the ECs need to abide by to meet the Overall Performance Assessment standards. The Board of Directors (BOD) and General Managers (GM) will be rated accordingly to assess good governance. In addition, the tentative Institutional Performance Assessment of ECs for 2021 was presented.

The National Electrification Administration (NEA) held a two-day Consultative Conference with the Electric Cooperatives (ECs) from 19 to 20 May 2022 at the Philippine International Convention Center (PICC), Pasay City. 113 ECs from Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao, represented mostly by General Managers, participated in the event.

NEA Administrator Emmanuel P. Juaneza set the direction of rural electrification in consideration of the new national leadership. In protecting the ECs interests, he invited them to ensure that their competency as business entities and providers shall be at par or better than that of the private companies. This entails revisiting their relationship with the MCOs and strengthening linkages with LGUs and members of the House of Representatives.

“We must review our resources for transitioning into renewable energy, it is part of the Philippine Energy Plan”, the NEA chief adds.

Following the 09 May 2022 elections, President Rodrigo Roa Duterte has issued Administrative Order (AO) No. 47 officializing the creation of the Presidential Transition Committee (PTC) and mandating government departments, agencies, bureaus, and instrumentalities to create Internal Transition Committees (ITC) for a proper and orderly transition of government into the next Administration.

The National Electrification Administration (NEA) created its ITC headed by Administrator Emmanuel P. Juaneza with Deputy Administrators Rossan SJ. Rosero-Lee, Omar M. Mayo, Sonia B. San Diego, and Acting Deputy Administrator Ernesto O. Silvano, Jr. as Vice-Chairpersons through Office Order No. 2022-098 last 13 May 2022.

Further composed by selected Department Managers, the ITC shall oversee the formulation and implementation of systems and procedures for transition and ensure continued operations of NEA Departments and Offices during the transition period. ###
