AN URGENT RESPONSE TO THE VISAYAS ENERGY CHALLENGE
The Visayas Energy Summit is a one-day, multi-stakeholder convening initiated by the Executive Board of the Philippine Energy Research and Policy Institute (PERPI) as an urgent institutional response to the pressing energy challenges in the Visayas.
