Energy department keen to meet RE targets despite setbacks

THE ENERGY department is still pursuing its targets for renewable energy mechanisms despite several setbacks last year and may come out with the official rules early this year, an official said in an interview.
“The target dates have been pushed back slightly for some policies like the renewable energy portfolio standards but it has not pushed back our overall targets for capacity and investment, ” Energy Undersecretary Jose M. Layug, Jr. said.
