The National Electrification Administration (NEA) energized on Monday, 12 February 2024, a geographically isolated community in Las Nieves, Agusan del Norte, which is home to families belonging to the Higaonon tribe.

NEA Administrator Antonio Mariano Almeda traveled to the hillside village of Brgy. Bokbokon to lead the switch-on ceremony for Sitio Salaming, one of the recipients of household energization projects under the Sitio Electrification Program (SEP) of the agency.

Around 1,400 personnel from the National Electrification Administration (NEA) and its partner electric cooperatives (ECs) showed up at the Quirino Grandstand in Manila, Sunday (28 January 2024), to support the “Bagong Pilipinas” (New Philippines) thrust of President Ferdinand Marcos, Jr.

Administrator Antonio Mariano Almeda led the NEA-EC delegation at the kick-off rally, representing the rural electrification sector—a critical component in the government’s broader ambition to provide Filipinos universal access to electricity nationwide.

The National Electrification Administration (NEA) requested anew the services of educators from the University of the Philippines (UP) to provide competency training and certification programs in electric power distribution system engineering.

This was formalized in a seven-page Memorandum of Agreement (MOA ) executed by NEA Administrator Antonio Mariano Almeda and UP Chancellor Edgardo Carlo Vistan II. 

The National Electrification Administration (NEA) signed two separate memoranda of understanding (MOU) with the Philippine Space Agency (PhilSA) and the University of the Philippines (UP) to collaborate on various plans, programs, and projects aimed at accelerating its total electrification plan.

The National Electrification Administration (NEA) facilitated a total of P1,002,540,867.31 worth of loans to 28 electric cooperatives (ECs) by the end of calendar year 2023, according to the latest report of its Accounts Management and Guarantee Department (AMGD).

Based on updated figures released for the month of December 2023, the AMGD processed an additional P27,000,000 worth of loans to mostly fund the working capital of ECs.
