Energy Secretary Sharon Garin has assured the public of continued reforms on energy security, sustainability, and affordability.

Garin, who was sworn-in by President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. Monday, said reforms instituted during the time of her predecessor, Raphael Lotilla, who was appointed to head the Department of Environment and Natural Resources, “will remain central to our work moving forward.”

“These include the acceleration of renewable energy development, the expansion of electrification efforts, the enhancement of energy resiliency, and the continued strengthening of our investment climate,” she said in a statement.

Garin said the “Green Energy Auction, the steady growth in renewable energy capacity, and the increasing investor confidence in our energy transition framework underscore our collective progress in advancing the President’s policy agenda.”

“These initiatives are aligned not only with our long-term energy goals but also with broader aspirations for inclusive and sustainable national development. As we move ahead, the Department shall continue to promote collaboration, uphold transparency, and pursue innovative and responsive energy solutions to ensure that every Filipino benefits from a reliable, secure, and sustainable energy future,” she added.
