DAY II COORDINATION REPORT

Renewable Energy (RE) Non-Commercial Inventory
Date: July 3, 2026
Province: Iloilo

Introduction

On July 3, 2026, the NISU–DOE Center for Applied Renewable Energy (CARE) personnel conducted the second day of the initial coordination visits to the Municipal Government Units (LGUs) of Concepcion, San Dionisio, and Batad, Province of Iloilo. The activity aimed to formally coordinate with the respective local government units regarding the implementation of the Non-Commercial Renewable Energy (RE) Inventory and to gather preliminary information on the status of existing Renewable Energy (RE) projects, Non-Renewable Energy (Non-RE) projects, and potential renewable energy resources within their respective municipalities.

Groundbreaking Ceremony | Comparative Research Fieldwork

The journey toward meaningful research begins with understanding developments in the field. Our research team from the Center for Affiliated Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency and Conservation (CARE) along with the CARE personnel participated in the groundbreaking ceremony as part of our field immersion for the study, “Comparative Analysis of Agri-voltaic Systems and Conventional Farming Practices: Towards Sustainable Agricultural and Energy Productivity.”

This activity provided an opportunity to observe the initial phase of a project that reflects the growing integration of renewable energy and agriculture. Witnessing this milestone allowed us to gain valuable insights that will contribute to our comparative analysis of innovative farming practices and their potential to enhance both agricultural productivity and sustainable energy generation.

As we continue our research journey, we remain committed to producing evidence-based findings that support sustainable development, renewable energy adoption, and resilient agricultural practices.

We extend our sincere gratitude to everyone who welcomed and accommodated our team throughout this meaningful activity. Together, we continue building a future where innovation, sustainability, and research go hand in hand.

May 12, 2026 – NISU DOE-CARE successfully conducted its First Quarter Information, Education, and Communication (IEC) Campaign at NISU Batad Campus. The activity was organized as part of the Center’s continuing commitment to promote renewable energy awareness and strengthen energy efficiency and conservation practices within the university community.
The campaign gathered students, and personnel who actively participated in the lecture-discussion and open forum. The activity highlighted key topics such as the importance of renewable energy development in the Philippines, energy security concerns, practical energy conservation measures, and the role of higher education institutions in supporting national energy goals. Emphasis was given to the legal foundations of renewable energy and energy efficiency initiatives under Republic Act No. 9513 (Renewable Energy Act of 2008) and Republic Act No. 11285 (Energy Efficiency and Conservation Act).

The resource speakers provided relevant insights on current energy challenges, including the country’s dependence on imported fossil fuels and the importance of adopting sustainable energy practices amid global uncertainties affecting fuel prices. Participants were encouraged to apply simple but impactful energy-saving habits in their daily lives.

An open forum followed the discussion, allowing participants to raise questions and share perspectives on renewable energy initiatives and conservation strategies.

The activity was made even more meaningful through the active participation and enthusiasm of the faculty, staff, and students of NISU Batad Campus, whose engagement contributed greatly to the success of the program. The students demonstrated remarkable interest and participation throughout the discussions, gaining valuable knowledge and awareness about renewable energy, sustainability, and environmental responsibility.

The program featured three distinguished resource speakers who shared their expertise, insights, and experiences regarding renewable energy development, conservation, and sustainable practices. Their informative discussions inspired the participants to become more aware of the importance of renewable energy in building a greener and more sustainable future for the community and the nation.

The NISU-DOE CARE VSSC extends its heartfelt gratitude to the administration of NISU Batad Campus, especially to Dr. Veminrose Clariza-Samuel, as well as to all faculty members, staff, and students for their warm accommodation, active involvement, and unwavering support in making this IEC Program a truly successful and meaningful event.

Together, let us continue promoting awareness, innovation, and action toward a sustainable and energy-efficient future. 🌱⚡

Overall, the First Quarter IEC Campaign at NISU Batad Campus strengthened awareness and understanding of renewable energy and energy efficiency, reaffirming the role of NISU DOE-CARE as affiliated of the Department of Energy in advancing sustainable energy advocacy within the academic community
