The National Electrification Administration aims to electrify 1,085 sitios for the year 2023 under the Sitio Electrification Program (SEP).

PhP1.627 billion is allocated to energize 350 sitios in Luzon, 336 sitios in Visayas and 399 sitios in Mindanao this year, subject to evaluation and validation in accordance with the provisions of the 2023 General Appropriations Act (GAA).

In a press conference on Thursday, 02 February 2023, NEA Administrator Antonio Mariano C. Almeda appealed to the electric cooperatives (ECs) to fast-track the liquidation of their previously funded projects in order for them to get another round of the SEP budget.

At the recently concluded NEA Strategic Thinking Conference-Workshop in Pampanga, NEA Administrator Antonio Mariano Almeda vowed to attain 100-percent electrification in the country by 2028.

"Challenge accepted. By 2028, 100 percent electrification. Double time tayo. My administration will always be anchored in the principle of good governance. I will make sure that the Sitio Electrification Program funds are utilized well," the NEA Chief declared on the first day of the conference last 26 January 2023.
