The Department of Energy has officially enrolled 15 Metro Manila local government units, including Quezon City, in a program to promote solar energy and energy efficiency in their public buildings, with the latest batch joining on June 24. This program could lead to lower electricity costs and improved sustainability for QC's public facilities like government offices and community centers, setting an example for green development in the city. The program focuses on implementing solar energy solutions and energy efficiency measures in public buildings, though specific details on the exact installations or timelines for Quezon City were not provided in the initial announcement.
