Davao City — July 9-10, 2025 — In a steadfast commitment to achieving 100% electrification in its coverage areas, MORESCO-1 sent a three-person delegation to the Department of Energy (DOE)-led workshop and deliberation on the Local Total Electrification Roadmap (LTER) and the recently amended Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR) of the Microgrid Systems Act (Republic Act 11646), held at the Park Inn by Radisson, Davao City.
Representing MORESCO-1 were Raff Shun Rhay M. Laput, Planning and Design Section Head; Evan Lee S. Abregana, OSA Customer Welfare Officer; and Algene M. Andam, LSA Customer Welfare Officer. The delegation participated in the technical deliberations and revisions of MORESCO-1’s LTER for the period 2025–2028, aligning it with the National Total Electrification Roadmap (NTER).
The updated roadmap aims to meet the national government’s mandate of achieving total electrification by 2028, ensuring that every sitio and household—especially in underserved and off-grid areas—has access to reliable electricity.
During the two-day workshop, the DOE formally presented Department Circular No. DC2025-04-0007, which outlines the revised IRR of the Microgrid Systems Act. The amendment streamlines policies and procedures to accelerate deployment of microgrid systems, especially in missionary and last-mile areas.
MORESCO-1’s earlier submission of its LTER in March 2025 underwent evaluation by Engr. Ryan del Mundo of the Total Electrification Administration and Management Division (TEAMD) of the DOE. A one-on-one deliberation followed, where key recommendations and technical comments were discussed, prompting the electric cooperative to revise and enhance its roadmap to ensure conformity with national strategies and electrification targets.
Through this engagement, MORESCO-1 reaffirms its commitment to the government’s energy access for all agenda and continues to be a proactive partner in bringing sustainable power to the farthest reaches of Misamis Oriental.
