The Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing policy guidelines to simplify and streamline the installation of solar facilities for own use, with no export of power to the grid, according to a report by Philstar Biz.
The proposed guidelines aim to reduce bureaucratic hurdles for residential and commercial establishments that wish to install solar panels solely for their own consumption. By eliminating the need for grid interconnection agreements, the DOE hopes to accelerate renewable energy adoption and lower electricity costs for end-users.
The policy is currently open for public consultation, and stakeholders are encouraged to submit feedback before the final guidelines are issued. No specific timeline for implementation has been announced.
