The National Electrification Administration (NEA) requested anew the services of educators from the University of the Philippines (UP) to provide competency training and certification programs in electric power distribution system engineering.

This was formalized in a seven-page Memorandum of Agreement (MOA ) executed by NEA Administrator Antonio Mariano Almeda and UP Chancellor Edgardo Carlo Vistan II. 

The National Electrification Administration (NEA) facilitated a total of P1,002,540,867.31 worth of loans to 28 electric cooperatives (ECs) by the end of calendar year 2023, according to the latest report of its Accounts Management and Guarantee Department (AMGD).

Based on updated figures released for the month of December 2023, the AMGD processed an additional P27,000,000 worth of loans to mostly fund the working capital of ECs.

The National Electrification Administration (NEA) maintained an effective Quality Management System (QMS) of its legal, institutional, financial and technical services to electric cooperatives (ECs), thereby enabling the Agency to qualify for a new certificate from the International Organization for Standardization (ISO).

TÜV Rheinland Philippines, Inc. conducted a recertification audit of NEA last 21 December 2023. The independent auditors recommended the issuance of the ISO 9001:2015 certificate to the state-owned corporation after passing their evaluation.

“The audit team confirms in line with the audit targets that the organization’s management system complies with, adequately maintains and implements the requirements of the standard(s),” TÜV said in its initial audit report.

Officials from the National Electrification Administration (NEA) attended a special gathering hosted by the Pampanga I Electric Cooperative, Inc. (PELCO I) on Thursday, 28 December 2023, to celebrate another year of strong partnership.

Deputy Administrator (DA) for EC Management Services Atty. Omar Mayo and Board Member (BM) Agustin Maddatu led the NEA officials and employees present during the ceremony held at the PELCO-I SMCGP Knowledge Center in Santo Domingo, Mexico, Pampanga.

In his remarks, the DA thanked PELCO I for sending electric meters and other forms of support to their fellow cooperatives in Maguindanao and Lanao del Sur.

The National Electrification Administration (NEA) heads into the New Year with great enthusiasm, as preparations continue for the launch of one of its flagship projects, the Digital Dashboard Command Center (DDCC).

NEA Administrator Antonio Mariano Almeda said that he looks forward to working with Benguet Electric Cooperative (BENECO) and Cebu III Electric Cooperative, Inc. (CEBECO 3), which will serve as pilot co-ops for the first phase of DDCC.
