THE NATIONAL Electrification Administration (NEA) has partnered with the State Grid Corp. of China (SGCC) to facilitate donations of solar kits to households in the provinces of Cagayan and Isabela.
In a statement on Tuesday, the NEA said that it has signed separate memorandums of understanding (MoUs) with the SGCC in partnership with Cagayan II Electric Cooperative, Inc. (CAGELCO II) and Isabela II Electric Cooperative (ISELCO II).
“The project is similar to the photovoltaic mainstreaming program of the NEA that uses various solar kits to energize households and other state-owned facilities within the recipient communities,” the agency said.
According to the NEA, the MoUs will facilitate the donations and grants from the SGCC in building off-grid photovoltaic energy storage and power supply systems to selected barangays served by the partner electric cooperatives.
The MoUs were signed by NEA Administrator Antonio Mariano Almeda and SGCC Chief Representative to the Philippines Yao Yousheng.
CAGELCO II and ISELCO II are represented by Board President Arnel Onza and Board Chairman Sherwin A. Balloga, respectively. — Sheldeen Joy Talavera
