Did you know that as a business owner in the Philippines, you may already have the legal right to choose exactly where your electricity comes from, and pay significantly less for it?
Most businesses don't. And that's exactly the problem this episode sets out to address.
In Episode 2 of REalTalk, we delve into the Green Energy Option Program (GEOP), a government-backed initiative established under the Renewable Energy Act of 2008 that enables qualified entities to escape the traditional captive energy market and source their electricity directly from 100% renewable energy suppliers.
Joining host JM is Ian Soqueño, former Energy Program Lead at the Climate Reality Project Philippines, who walks us through everything you need to know about GEOP: what it is, who qualifies, how the switching process works, and why it matters far beyond just cutting costs.
The REalTalk Podcast is a limited series co-produced by Climate Reality Philippines and SUSTAINARUMBLE! In this ten-part series, we explore the numerous critical issues and trends within the renewable energy (RE) sector. Join us as we talk to energy policy stakeholders championing RE in the country.
