 The Philippine Efficient Lighting Market Transformation Project (PELMATP) is a five-year project led by the Department of Energy (DOE) with support from the Global Environment Facility (GEF) and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP).
The Project aims to address the barriers on the widespread utilization of energy efficient lighting (EEL) systems in the Philippines and the reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to the environment.
What are the quantifiable indicators of the project?
"Aggregate energy savings equivalent to at least 6% is projected at the end of year 2 and 11% at the end of the Project."
It is expected that at the end of the second year, total GHG emissions due to the lighting sector will be reduced by 4% and 11% at the end of PELMATP.
Aggregate energy savings equivalent to at least 6% is projected at the end of year 2 and 11% at the end of the Project.
About 57% of lamps and 56% of ballast used in the commercial and industrial establishments are energy efficient by end of year 5.
How will the project be implemented?
To achieve the project purpose, PELMATP will comprise of five (5) major components, namely:
|
COMPONENT 1 : EEL Policies, Standards and Guidelines Enhancement Program.
| |
This will involve the establishment of a functioning mechanism for sustained periodic review/ updating and enforcement of policies, standards, guidelines and programs on EEL applications, and implementation of Minimum Energy Performance Standards (MEPS) for EEL products. read more..
|
|
COMPONENT 2: EEL Applications Institutional and Technical Capacity Development Program.
| |
This component will involve activities that will strengthen capacity of relevant government agencies on EEL product testing, labeling and development and market monitoring and enforcement of standards with the consumers. read more..
|
|
COMPONENT 3: EEL Applications Consumer Awareness Improvement Program.
| |
This will involve activities aimed at empowering consumers in making informed decision in choosing EEL products. read more..
|
|
COMPONENT 4: EEL Initiatives Financing Assistance Program.
|
|
This component aims to achieve better quality EEL products and make them affordable and accessible to consumers. Akso included are activities involving the establishment/enhancement of collaboration and partnership among organizations for promoting the adoption of EEL products and the creation/facilitation of business opportunities in EEL product financing. read more..
|
|
COMPONENT 5: EEL Systems Waste Management Assistance Program. |
This component is for mitigating the negative environmental impacts brought by utilization of EELs, particularly the handling and disposing of mercury (Hg) from waste EELs.
Numerous government and private stakeholders will be directly involved in the implementation of PELMATP. Several commercial and industrial establishments will also be involved, specifically as host of the various demonstration activities and as participants in the voluntary agreement schemes. read more..
