Oro Mini Energy Camp aims for grassroots demand side management By Mike Baños, Editor at large
While other energy players pay lip service to energy demand side management, a new program backed by the country’s largest distribution utility has taken the bull by the horns, so to speak. Energy demand management,
also known as demand side management (DSM), is the modification of consumer demand for energy through various methods such as financial incentives and behavioral change through education. Choosing the latter path to promote its advocacy among the
Philippines’ 40,000 public schools, the Coalition for Better Education (CBE) and One Meralco Foundation launched Monday, 19 October 2015 the first ever Teacher’s Mini Energy Camp in Cagayan de Oro City which aims to develop 100 flash cards for energy education of students in public elementary
schools from Grades 4-10. “Before the opening of the next school year, we expect the 35 teachers attending this Energy Camp to develop at least 100 new flashcards for Energy Education,” said Jeffrey O. Tarayao, One Meralco Foundation President and Meralco Chief Corporate
Social Responsibility Officer who developed the program with CBE Executive Director Luchi Flores. Three local school teachers were among the original 37 handpicked teachers nationwide who developed the initial Energy Ed kit of flash cards over a year See demand, page A11
