VILLAR-LED S.I. Power Corp. (SIPCOR) must secure a new permit and comply with Department of Energy (DoE) requirements before it can resume operations, Energy Secretary Sharon S. Garin said.
“They have to go through the process and they have to qualify and justify to us. And also, they have to clear up some issues also on what happened in Siquijor,” Ms. Garin told reporters on the sidelines of a site visit in Batangas on Thursday.
She said the requirement is part of new DoE guidelines establishing an accountability policy for entities engaged in power generation.
Under the rules, entities are required to operate generation facilities only with valid certifications, permits, and clearances, and to maintain continuous compliance with the conditions of these authorizations.
