Recognizing the critical importance of energy management system standards and systems optimization as an approach to advance and accelerate energy efficiency improvements in industries, the Philippine Department of Energy (DOE), in cooperation with the Department of Trade & Industry (DTI), is undertaking a project entitled Philippine Industrial Energy Efficiency Project (PIEEP).With funding from the Global Environment Facility (GEF) and technical assistance provided by the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO), this five-year initiative addresses the need to implement energy efficiency measures specifically in the industrial sector. The project aims to promote sustainable energy management system and achieve energy efficiency best practices within four of the most energy-intensive sectors in the country – Metal & Steel, Pulp & Paper, Chemical, and Food & Beverages, with the purpose of saving energy and contributing to climate change mitigation efforts. This objective will be achieved through the introduction of energy management system (EnMS) standards (compliant with ISO 50001); systems optimization (SO) for steam, compressed air, and pumps; and expansion of financing opportunities for energy efficiency investments. GEF has provided a grant of $3.166 million, covering specific project interventions such as technical trainings and capacity building for selected local experts and industrial facilities, policy support, awareness campaigns, peer-to-peer networking, and facilitating access to credit facilities.
