HB08928: PHILIPPINE ENERGY RESEARCH AND POLICY INSTITUTE ACT
This bill aims to establish the Philippine Energy Research and Policy Institute (PERPI) under the University of the Philippines. Its core objectives are to conduct independent, transdisciplinary research on energy issues, provide technical and strategic assistance to government bodies, and promote collaboration among various stakeholders in the energy sector. The Institute will focus on ensuring energy security, equity, and sustainability through evidence-based policy formulation and the dissemination of research findings.
The establishment of PERPI is significant for the Filipino people as it seeks to address critical energy challenges, such as cost-effective resource utilization and environmentally sound development. By fostering research and providing expert advice, the Institute can contribute to more stable and affordable energy supplies, cleaner energy sources, and better-informed government policies, ultimately improving the quality of life and economic stability for all Filipinos.
