The plan outlines the policy framework enshrined in Republic Act 9513. It sets the strategic building blocks that will help the country achieve the goals set forth in the Renewable Energy Act of 2008. The NREP signals the country’s big leap from fragmented and halting RE initiatives into a focused and sustained drive towards energy security and improved access to clean energy. The NREP lays down the foundation for developing the country’s renewable energy resources, stimulating investments in the RE sector, developing technologies, and providing the impetus for national and local renewable energy planning that will help identify the most feasible and least-cost renewable energy development options.
