The Department of Energy and the Philippine Society of Mechanical Engineers have joined hands in a technical audit of the country’s generation, transmission and distribution facilities, Energy Secretary Alfonso Cusi said.

The energy department and the PSME signed a memorandum of agreement at the DoE’s Central Office in Taguig City, with the PSME providing pro-bono services.

“Public interest demands an appropriate intervention from both the government and the private sector to ensure consumer protection,” Cusi said.

The PSME, the only accredited professional association of registered and professional mechanical engineers in the country, has 84,000 members who have the necessary technical knowledge, expertise and competence to assist the DoE in addressing current power problems.

Cusi said “the DoE is determined to immediately address the recurring challenges in the power supply chain that affects the productivity of our people. The entry of PSME will strengthen DoE’s technical audit teams.”

Cusi said the DoE remains committed to ensuring reliable, stable, sustainable, sufficient and reasonably priced electricity to the public.
