The National Electrification Administration (NEA) is working to reach the target 94 percent energization rate of remote households through its partner electric cooperatives (EC) nationwide this 2025.

NEA Administrator Antonio Mariano Almeda said the state-owned corporation remains optimistic towards achieving its electrification targets despite working under limited budget. He noted that Mindanao provinces are still at the top of NEA’s priorities.

The Siargao Electric Cooperative, Inc. (SIARELCO) restored electricity services to its entire franchise area after fixing a major line fault in one of its undersea cables, which caused widespread power outage affecting many households and businesses for 13 days.

National Electrification Administration (NEA) chief Antonio Mariano Almeda visited Siargao on Saturday, 14 December 2024, to commission a four-megawatt modular generator set.

The National Electrification Administration (NEA) welcomed the Joint Memorandum Circular (JMC) of the Department of Energy (DOE) and Department of Finance (DOF) providing the guidelines for the availment of certain local tax exemptions by Electric Cooperatives (ECs).

“The availment of these preferential rights will help the ECs allocate monetary resources to better pursue our common purpose of nation-building,” NEA Administrator Antonio Mariano Almeda said at the signing ceremony held on Wednesday at the Minority Conference Office in Batasan Pambansa.
