Dear Asejia,

Greetings!

Thank you for your request dated Sep 04, 2022 12:46:28 AM under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch.

Your Request

You asked for Financial Evaluation of Renewable Energy Technologies.

Response to Request

This is to inform Mr. Lallo that the Department is not conducting evaluation of the abovementioned systems.  

However, the Department of Energy recently released a Net-Metering Guidebook which includes a financial model for solar rooftop systems among others. For reference, the guidebook may be viewed at: https://www.doe.gov.ph/sites/default/files/pdf/renewable_energy/Net-Metering-Guidebook-2022.pdf 

Though the Department reviews and evaluates technical, financial and legal evaluation of Renewable Energy Projects, the request falls into the list of exemptions to Freedom of Information (FOI) as stated in the Annex C of the DOE-FOI Manual (https://www.doe.gov.ph/sites/default/files/pdf/announcements/annex_c.pdf)  to wit:

Renewable Energy Management Bureau (REMB)
“2. Technical Evaluation Report regarding RE Service Contract Application…xxx…”

In view of the above, we regret to inform you that the Department is restricted to provide any documents Pursuant to the DOE FOI Manual. 

However, may we suggest that you course your request to the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) and/or Department of Science of Technology (DOST) as your query may be best responded by these agencies. 

Your right to request a review

If you are unhappy with this response to your FOI request, you may ask us to carry out an internal review of the response by writing to Secretary Raphael Perpetuo Lotilla at rlotilla@doe.gov.ph. Your review request should explain why you are dissatisfied with this response, and should be made within 15 calendar days from the date when you received this letter. We will complete the review and tell you the result within 30 calendar days from the date when we receive your review request.

If you are not satisfied with the result of the review, you then have the right to appeal to the Office of the President under Administrative Order No. 22 (s. 2011).

Thank you.

Respectfully,

Renewable Energy Management Bureau
FOI Receiving Officer
