The Provincial Government of Cagayan in partnership with the Department of Energy โ Luzon Field Office (DOE-LFO) successfully conducted the two-day Workshop on the Local Energy Efficiency and Conservation Plan (LEECP) on August 11โ12, 2026, at the 2nd Floor PPDO Building, Capitol Hills, Tuguegarao City, Cagayan.
On the welcome remarks of Dr. Archie Articulo, Executive Assistant and Cluster Head of Employment, Environment, and Energy, he highlighted the Governorโs EGAY Platform initiative, which aims toward sustainable socio-economic growth and development through strategic planning focused on ex*****on rather than mere compliance fostering a disciplined government and community moving forward together.
The workshop was facilitated by DOE-LFO technical experts Mr. Angelo C. Gonsay, Ms. Daphne F. Del Mundo, and Ms. Julieta G. Locquiao, with Ms. Rodalyn B. Matute of the PPDO-Project Development Division serving as moderator. Throughout the workshop, participants underwent comprehensive capacity-building modules covering the policy guidelines of Republic Act 11285 (Energy Efficiency and Conservation Act) and the Government Energy Management Program (GEMP). Key technical tracks featured hands-on navigation of the GEMP Online System, practical applications of Cost-Benefit Analysis (CBA) for municipal energy efficiency projects, and strategies for mainstreaming LEECPs into local Annual Investment Programs (AIP) and Comprehensive Development Plans (CDP).
On the second day, representatives from the Province of Cagayan and 21 municipalities/cities: Abulug, Allacapan, Amulung, Aparri, Baggao, Ballesteros, Buguey, Camalaniugan, Gonzaga, Iguig, Peรฑablanca, Piat, Rizal, Sanchez Mira, Sta. Ana, Sta. Teresita, Solana, Sto. Niรฑo, Tuao, and Tuguegarao City presented their draft energy profiles and plan matrices to the DOE-LFO for evaluation and technical refinement.
To ensure long-term impact, LGUs were recommended to submit their finalized plans to their respective Sangguniang Bayan/Panlungsod for official enactment, consistently upload compliance data to the GEMP online portal, and integrate identified energy efficiency projects into upcoming AIP budget cycles under the continued monitoring of the Department of Energy.
In her closing message, Ms. Elisa G. Umoso, Provincial Planning and Development Coordinator, stressed the vital role of strong collaborative networks in establishing Cagayan as a benchmark for local energy governance through data-driven strategies.
This activity marks another major milestone built on inter-office synergy among the Provincial Planning and Development Office (PPDO), General Services Office (GSO), Provincial Tourism Office, and Provincial Engineer's Office (PEO) reaffirming that local energy conservation planning remains a top priority toward an energy-resilient and sustainable Cagayan.
