HB08417: Enacted into law "RA11234" on March 8, 2019 | AN ACT ESTABLISHING THE ENERGY VIRTUAL ONE-STOP SHOP FOR THE PURPOSE OF STREAMLINING THE PERMITTING PROCESS OF POWER GENERATION, TRANSMISSION, AND DISTRIBUTION PROJECTS
This bill establishes the Energy Virtual One-Stop Shop (eVOSS) to streamline the permitting process of energy projects in the Philippines. The eVOSS will provide an online platform for the coordinated submission and processing of all required data and information, making it easier for proponents to secure permits and licenses.
The most interesting provision of this bill is the establishment of an eVOSS Coordinating Council. This council will be responsible for overseeing the implementation of the eVOSS and ensuring that it is responsive to the needs of the energy sector.
