00:00 The target of the administration of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.
00:04 is to provide electricity to all the homes in the Philippines by the end of 2028.
00:10 According to the Energy Department,
00:12 less than 2 million homes are still not able to provide electricity to the various parts of the country.
00:19 The DOE explained that it is not easy to do this because the houses are far from the grid.
00:26 Aside from the need for a large fund, it is also possible that it will be expensive
00:31 because the households will be divided based on the price of electricity
00:35 which is going to a very long line from the grid.
00:39 Currently, the DOE has a so-called PV mainstreaming program
00:43 to temporarily provide electricity to many places
00:47 that are not yet able to provide the service of the Cooperative of Electricity
00:51 or the National Electrification Administration.
00:54 This is an individual solar home system
00:57 that can provide 24 hours of electricity to a house
01:01 but it is limited to three bulbs and one socket.
