The Department of Energy in partnership with MERALCO successfully conducts its first leg of Consumer Connect seminar in 2025 with the homeowners of Monte Vista Subdivision Marikina City on February 20, 2025.

Consumer Connect is a nationwide campaign of the Consumer Welfare and Promotion Office (CWPO) of the DOE that aims to establish core groups of energy consumer advocates who will serve as agents in providing crucial information to their respective constituents, thus, helping the DOE broaden its reach with the public.

The seminar covers topics specifically designed for energy consumers focusing on renewable energy, LPG and Liquified Petroleum Products buying and safety tips, rights and responsibilities of residential electricity consumers, among others.
