Administrator Antonio Mariano Almeda of the National Electrification Administration (NEA), attended the blessing and inauguration of the newly built Juanito E. Jorda, Jr. Development and Empowerment Center at the RENAGMEC Compound in Brgy. San Juan, Santa Rita, Samar.

The Development and Empowerment Center was named after the late general manager of Leyte V Electric Cooperative, Inc. (LEYECO V), who was one of the founders of Federation of Rural Electric Cooperatives of Region 8 (FRECOR 8), and the first RENAGMEC president.

The National Electrification Administration (NEA) and the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) created a Unified Pole Relocation Database template to organize a comprehensive list of electric cooperative (EC) utility poles and facilities affected by road widening projects.

In a memorandum dated 21 September 2023, NEA instructed the ECs to coordinate with the implementing offices of DPWH covering their service areas to ensure that all power distribution line sections affected by public infrastructure projects, from 2017 onwards, are included in the unified database.

This developed following a 15 August 2023 meeting held between the two agencies in order to reconcile and consolidate their respective master lists. DPWH used Road Section/Station Limits while NEA utilized Line Segments.

Based on the data of the National Electrification Administration's (NEA) Accounting Management and Guarantee Department (AMGD), the agency extended PhP846.71 million worth of loans to 22 Electric Cooperatives (ECs) as of 31 August 2023.
