Albert Dalusung III, an old and respected hand in the Philippine energy sector, was chosen as chair of the technical working group (TWG) on FiTs under the National Renewable Energy Board or NREB. It is surprising that he has been sidelined in the process of FiT rate deliberations. Under the inGlorious administration, Pete Maniego (a lawyer who practiced engineering for 40 years) occupied the post and took the lead role. Now Bert sits merely as a resource person valiantly but objectively espousing the cause of the RE developers.
Why is the elected RE representative to the NREB the one lording it over the alleged consultations along with the NREB chairman and another bright guy who purportedly is the energy secretary’s alter ego on the issue?
Whose interests are being safeguarded by the NREB? I dare say this is a legitimate question.
