Philippines
Consultation highlights:
supported by our local consultant. We convened with multiple public and private sector partners including the Department of Energy, the National Renewable Energy Board (NREB), the Climate Change Commission, MERALCO (the largest distribution utility in Manila), Quezon City, Healthcare without Harm, and Ayala Land (a large conglomerate). The team also attended an Asia Development Bank (ADB) donor coordination meeting which included representatives from JICA, EU Delegation, USAID, World Bank, France, UNDP, GGGI, GIZ, ADB Energy for All and Energy Efficiency teams, and UNIDO. Key outcomes from the meetings were to focus our efforts on two tracks: building capacity among distribution utilities and electric cooperatives to meet the new Renewable Portfolio Standard and second, to work with cities to incentivize private sector renewable energy procurement.

Participants included representatives from Gap, H&M, Intel, Levi’s, Marriott, Nike, Puma, Sharp, and Walmart as well as regional and local developers and investors. Outcomes centered around identifying existing barriers to corporate clean energy procurement in Vietnam and ideas for future collaboration, focusing on engaging with the government of Vietnam on the enabling environment, exploring developing a renewable energy product and financing package for the apparel subsector, and working with industrial partners to aggregate demand.
group, also in Ho Chi Minh City. The event brought together over 40 participants from key corporates, investors, developers, and development partners from such organizations as ABInBev, Gap, H&M, Heineken, Hanoi Stock Exchange, Amata (an industrial park conglomerate) and others.

Philippines
The next key meeting for the Philippines will take place with the Philippines Electric Cooperatives Association to develop a plan for training the cooperatives on how to procure renewable energy to enable them to meet the new RPS requirements. Additional meetings are to be held with ICLEI, USAID B- LEADERS, and the World Resources Institute Buildings Energy Efficiency Accelerator to determine
