Ateneo de Manila University to Develop Centres of Excellence on Energy Access, Renewable Energy, and Energy Efficiency

The European Union (EU) Delegation to the Philippines will work together with Ateneo de Manila University (ADMU) and its implementing partners, ICLEI – Local Governments for Sustainability, Manila Observatory (MO), and Xavier University (XU) to implement the project titled “Clean Energy Living Laboratories (CELLSs): The development of centres of excellence on energy access, renewable energy, and energy efficiency” under the Access to Sustainable Energy in the Philippines.
 
On December 13, 2018, ADMU President Fr. Jose Ramon T. Villarin, SJ attended the signing ceremony led by EU Ambassador to the Philippines Franz Jessen.

ADMU (through the Ateneo School of Government) and its implementing partners aim to empower stakeholders to effectively respond to energy challenges and seize opportunities for sustainable production and consumption, particularly in managing the country’s transition to sustainable low-carbon energy.
 
The €3.8 million Clean Energy Living Laboratories project is one of the seven grants awarded under the EU's Access to Sustainable Energy Program (ASEP), which will run until 2021.
