Energy Efficiency in Public Buildings Program

Proposed

The Energy Efficiency in Public Buildings Results-Based Lending (EEPB-RBL) will support the Government of the Philippines in implementing the Government Energy Management Programme (GEMP) which requires all government buildings to reduce their monthly energy consumption by at least 10%. This requirement is being enforced under the Philippines Energy Efficiency and Conservation Act. The EEPB-RBL aims to deliver approximately 20-30% energy savings in existing public buildings through the procurement and installation of energy efficient lighting, high efficiency air conditioning, distributed solar photovoltaic modules, smart metering and/or electric vehicle charging stations. The project will focus particularly on existing education and health related buildings. The total project cost is $500 million implemented over a period of five years. The first phase will cover about 100 buildings from 2026-2028 and the second phase will cover about 300 buildings from 2028 to 2031.
