Administrator Antonio Mariano Almeda called on all 121 electric cooperatives (ECs) nationwide to share their best practices with one another in order to enhance the reliability and efficiency of their power distribution services for the benefit of their member-consumer-owners (MCOs). This was done through a summit organized by the National Electrification Administration (NEA) on Monday, 01 April 2024.

Included in the agenda are the following areas of concern:  fluctuating voltage in the technical systems of the co-ops; management of the EC Reinvestment Funds and EC Retirement Funds; loan facilities to establish the Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI), Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition System (SCADA) and Geographic Information System (GIS) of the ECs; concerns with respect to the enhanced Integrated Computerized Planning Model (e-ICPM); and the timeline of EC bidding activities.

The National Electrification Administration (NEA) recently issued a new memorandum directing all electric cooperatives (ECs) to submit copies of their respective board resolutions with respect to the retirement fund of their employees.

NEA Deputy Administrator (DA) for EC Management Services Omar Mayo signed the memo dated 15 March 2024.

The National Electrification Administration (NEA) sets in motion the Accelerated Total Electrification Program (ATEP) to meet its goal of total household electrification by 2028.

NEA held a roll-out conference earlier this month to present the program and ensure the engagement of all electric cooperatives (ECs). Among its objectives were the harmonization of targets and accomplishments for monitoring and reporting purposes, the presentation of latest policy issuances to guide the ECs, as well as the gathering of insights and best practices for the smooth implementation of the Program. 

Acknowledging the crucial role that effective communications play in every organization, the National Electrification Administration (NEA) held a two-day workshop for the officers of electric cooperatives (ECs) tasked with disseminating public information to their member-consumer-owners (MCOs).

The NEA-EC Training Institute (NETI), together with the NEA Corporate Communications and Social Marketing Office (CCSMO), organized the communications workshop for the members of the League of Information and Communication Officers of Electric Cooperatives Nationwide (LEXICON) last March 19 and 20, 2024 at the Diversion 21 Hotel in Iloilo City.

The National Electrification Administration (NEA) held an orientation on the preparation and submission of the Manual of Approvals (MANAP) among key officials of electric cooperatives (EC) in a virtual seminar last 29 February to 01 March 2024.

The two-day activity sought to establish the internal control system of authorizations and approvals in the different departments within the ECs, as well as provide better understanding on the varying levels of authority in their respective organizations.
