The Philippine Energy Research & Policy Institute (PERPI) and Meralco Power Foundation’s Meralco Power Academy, have signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to strengthen collaboration on research, training, and capacity building in the power and energy sector.

The agreement establishes a framework for cooperation between the policy institute and the energy training arm of the Meralco group, aimed at preparing future-ready energy professionals and supporting sustainable energy development in the Philippines.

Under the MOU, Meralco Power Foundation will provide opportunities for hands-on learning, technical training and skills development for PERPI personnel and stakeholders. Areas of expertise identified for collaboration include sustainable energy, energy efficiency, power engineering, electrical safety and related technical disciplines.

The Foundation is also expected to support joint initiatives covering training and certification programs, curriculum development and knowledge exchange.

PERPI will work with the Foundation on research, innovation, advocacy and capacity-building programs aligned with national energy policy priorities. The institute aims to integrate research insights and policy perspectives with practical industry exposure through jointly developed programs and activities.
