Vice President Leni Robredo lamented the country’s supply of energy is the “number one concern now” as she called for the development of indigenous energy sources to alleviate the rising energy prices.
Robredo, a presidential aspirant, was asked about addressing the energy price and supply issues if she gets elected to the country’s top post this May.
The Vice President also sees the expansion of the Energy Virtual One Stop Shop and the Anti-Red Tape Authority as another way to boost the development of energy projects by streamlining the approval process.Part of her energy plan, Robredo bared she supports the Philippine commitment to be more carbon neutral in 2050, but she noted there is currently no road map yet that specifies how it can be achieved.
“One sustainable alternative also, which [is] being pushed by some sectors, is to encourage high-consumption volume consumers to put up their own solar panels for those who can afford. Putting up panels in ecozones, for example, can shave off the peak to manage the supply,” she said.
