The Philippine Energy Research & Policy Institute (PERPI) and Asia Engine for Net Zero Institute, Inc. (AENZ) have signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to collaborate on energy policy development, workforce training, and initiatives supporting a just and regenerative energy transition in the Philippines.

The partnership sets a non-binding framework for cooperation on research, policy papers, pilot programs, and knowledge-sharing activities. AENZ will provide advisory support for initiatives such as agrivoltaics — a renewable energy approach that integrates solar power with agriculture to boost both energy output and food security — and contribute to designing training programs and standards.

PERPI, as a government-mandated energy policy think tank, will lead applied research, policy analysis, and stakeholder engagement, while working with AENZ on joint seminars, training, and capacity-building to address skills gaps in the renewable energy and decarbonization sectors.
