Philippines orders energy cuts for government agencies
Change
The Philippines ordered national government agencies, state universities and local government branches to cut fuel consumption by at least 10%, set air conditioning to no lower than 24°C and reduce official travel to conserve energy.
Why it matters
Public bodies must now reconfigure operations that depend on routine vehicle travel and on-site staffing, reducing in-person services and travel. Government planners face constrained transport and facilities budgets and must prioritise essential activities to meet the mandated consumption targets.
Implications
- • Facilities managers at national government agencies and state universities must raise HVAC setpoints to 24°C and implement measures to reduce fuel use by 10% — failure to do so will leave their agency short of the mandated reduction.
- • Government travel offices and procurement teams must cancel or postpone non-essential official travel and reallocate travel budgets to reduce fuel consumption — failure to act will cause travel fuel use to exceed mandated targets.
