A landmark honoring the Unsung Heroes of Rural Electrification was unveiled at the Marinduque Electric Cooperative, Inc. (MARELCO) compound in Boac, Marinduque last Thursday, 30 March 2023. The ceremony is part of their 50th anniversary celebration.

NEA Administrator Antonio Mariano Almeda graced the unveiling and blessing of the "Bantayog ng mga Bayani ng Pailaw." He was joined by NEA Deputy Administrators Atty. Rossan Rosero-Lee and Atty. Omar Mayo, and NEA Legal Services Office Department Manager Atty. Vic Alvaro.

The NEA Board of Administrators approved the Amendment to the NEA Memorandum No. 2022-035 or the "Revised Policy Guidelines on the Implementation of the Strategized Total Electrification Program (STEP)."

The amendment pertains to the inclusion of the mechanics and parameters for the selection of EC beneficiaries under the Barangay Line Enhancement Program (BLEP), which form part of STEP.

The 121 electric cooperatives (ECs) nationwide were instructed to submit their EC Local Total Electrification Roadmap (LTER) to the National Electrification Administration (NEA) through Memorandum No. 2023-17.

This is in compliance with Section 5.2 of the Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR) of DOE Circular No. DC2022-05-0017 entitled "Rules and Regulations to Implement Republic Act No. 11646 otherwise known as Microgrid System Act."
