Renewable Energy
RE priorities: 
Accelerate the exploration and development of renewable energy resources such as, but not limited to, biomass, solar, wind, hydro, geothermal and ocean energy sources, including hybrid systems, to achieve energy self-reliance, through the adoption of sustainable energy development strategies to reduce the country's dependence on fossil fuels [...].

Increase the utilization of renewable energy by institutionalizing the development of national and local capabilities in the use of renewable energy systems [...].---The DOE shall establish a Green Energy Option program which provides end-users the option to choose RE resources as their sources of energy.[...].---A Renewable Energy Trust Fund is hereby established to enhance the development and greater utilization of renewable energy [...].---The DOE shall, where practicable, encourage the adoption of waste-to-energy facilities such as, but not limited to, biogas systems.
RE prioritization, portfolio standards: 
All stakeholders in the electric power industry shall contribute to the growth of the renewable energy industry of the country. Towards this end, the National Renewable Energy Board (NREB), [...] shall set the minimum percentage of generation from eligible renewable energy resources and determine to which sector RPS shall be imposed on a per grid basis within one (1) year from the effectivity of this Act.
RE feed-in tariffs: 
[...] a feed-in tariff system for electricity produced from wind, solar, ocean, run-of-river hydropower and biomass is hereby mandated. Towards this end, the ERC in consultation with the National Renewable Energy Board (NREB) [...] shall formulate and promulgate feed-in tariff system rules within one (1) year upon the effectivity of this Act.
Net metering: 
Subject to technical considerations and without discrimination and upon request by distribution end-users, the distribution utilities shall enter into net-metering agreements with qualified end-users who will be installing RE system. The ERC, in consultation with the NREB and the electric power industry participants, shall establish net metering interconnection standards and pricing methodology and other commercial arrangements necessary to ensure success of the net-metering for renewable energy program within one (1) year upon the effectivity of this Act.
