The Energy Regulatory Commission issued net metering rules in 2013 under the Renewable Energy Act, allowing end users with rooftop solar systems up to 100 kW to offset electricity consumed from distribution utilities. In 2019, ERC expanded the program to cover off-grid areas and enable commercial excess power sales. ERC also adopted Distributed Energy Resources rules to permit energy sales by owners or operators. The Department of Energy launched GEAP 2 in 2022, targeting 605 MW of rooftop capacity by 2026 but received only 9.39 MW in bids. In 2023, DOE introduced the Expanded Rooftop Solar Programme, which supports peer trading, leasing, and contingency supply models. Financing support came from Pag-IBIG Fund and the Development Bank of the Philippines, while LGUs implemented local RE programs and solar PV installations in hospitals and public buildings.
