Senator Pia S. Cayetano encouraged the Department of Energy (DOE) to take decisive steps to make electricity more affordable and reliable, citing that high power costs remain a major barrier to growth for industries and small businesses.
Cayetano, who chairs the Senate Committees on Energy and on Sustainable Development Goals, Innovation, and Futures Thinking, emphasized that energy affordability and sustainability are critical to achieving the country’s economic goals, and its commitments under the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
She called on DOE to act with urgency, ensuring that public funds and consumer payments lead to real progress in building a cleaner, more resilient energy sector.
