Promote good governance ENERGY REFORM AGENDA

plans and programs of PEP 2009-2030 are crafted to respond to the challenges that are confronting the energy sector at present and usher the change in the landscape of the countrys energy future. The Plan will see to it that public policies on energy are at par with the changing needs of the energy sector. As an overall guiding principle, the Plan is based on three broad policy thrusts:

The energy sector underscores its guiding vision of Energy Access for more to mainstream access of the larger populace to reliable and affordable energy services to fuel, most importantly, local productivity and countryside development With Energy Access for more we hope to resonate a national commitment to move energy access up to higher levels of political and development agenda to become a key priority of the government.

the energy sector has outlined the following three (3) major pillars as its overall guidepost and direction, to wit: (a) Ensure energy security; (b) Achieve optimal energy pricing; and, (c) Develop a sustainable energy plan. principle of good governance: transparency and accountability shall be the norms of conduct in all phases of energy policy, program and project development The programs that will lead to the attainment of the pillars have been phased into short- (20102011), medium-(2011-2013) and long-term (2013-2016) timelines.
