The energy sector plays a crucial role in the promotion of sustainability alongside socio-economic development in the Philippines. Indeed, measures to meet the Philippines' current and future energy demands, as well as promote cleaner energy options require collaborative efforts from all energy stakeholders.

On 21 January 2021, the Philippine Energy Independence Council (PEIC) and the European Chamber of Commerce of the Philippines (ECCP) will be hosting the forum "Philippine Energy Transition: A Race Through Economic Disruption, Technology Shifts and Innovation". Entering into a new year, this Forum will highlight discussions on the Philippine energy outlook for 2021. With representatives from the public and private sectors, it will also cover discussions on initiatives and policies in addressing energy reserve issues, as well as promoting indigenous energy and energy independence, towards ensuring energy security, providing more opportunities for and improving the lives of the Filipino people, as well as overall economic progress.

This Forum will engage sector experts on the following topics:

• Philippine energy policies, plans, and priorities
• The Philippine energy market growth forecast for 2021 and Implications on Energy Independence
• A new energy order to empower global sustainable energy transition
• Building Sustainable and Smart Cities through Energy Innovations
• Sustainable Energy Value Chain
