ELI Phils - The National Advisory Council for Energy Efficient Lighting
This document provides the background in the creation of the National Advisory Council for Energy Efficient Lighting, or NACEEL. The NACEEL is a high-profile organization made up of prominent heads of government and luminaries from the utility sector that have come together to lend their influence to generate institutional and utility support towards the implementation of projects that will directly or indirectly support the promotion of energy efficient lighting technologies in the Philippine market.
ELI Phils Ablaza Lambuson
This document is the ELI Philippines paper that was presented during the 5th European Conference on Energy-Efficient Lighting (Right Light 5) held in Nice, France on 29 to 31 May 2002. The paper, entitled "Regulatory Intervention towards the Empowerment of Electric Utilities as Agents of Lighting Market Transformation in the Philippines," discusses the ELI Philippines' activities in collaborating with regulators and the utility sector to promote energy efficient lighting programs through the institutionalization of Demand-Side Management among the utilities.

ELI Phils POS Support Campaign Final Report
The Point-of-Sale Support Campaign was conceptualized to penetrate three different markets where ELI-qualified compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) are available: the small- and medium-scale mom and pops stores, the large scale supermarket stores, and the upscale hardware stores within malls and department stores.

ELI Phils Cepalco CFL Distribution
These two documents constitute the ELI technical assistance activity to the Cagayan Electric Power and Light Company (CEPALCO) to develop an energy efficient lighting program for the residential using ELI-qualified compact fluorescent lamps. Through this activity, Cepalco was able to implement a 1,000 CFL pilot program called "Paylight" that allowed its customers to purchase ELI-qualified CFLs at a discounted price through an installment plan. Using a shared savings scheme, the consumer benefits from the energy savings gained from selling CFLs, and the utility would be able to recover the cost of the lamp as well as the administrative and financing costs, including a return on its investment. Based on the statistics and lessons learned from Paylight, the utility now has the basis to develop its scaled-up CFL project for its 80,000-plus residential customers, dubbed "Megalight."

Launch photos

After five months of start-up operations, the ELI Philippines country program was launched in an event of modest spectacle and fanfare. Because the purely coincidental date of 12 October marks the Columbus discovery and of the National Day of Spain (the feast of La Virgen del Pilar), it was much easier to design the event around the theme, "The winds of global change are now blowing towards Asia and through Philippine shores—Experience the coming..."

Hosted by theater and cinema actress, Lara Fabregas (who would later unknowingly earn the title "Miss ELI"), the event marked several milestones: the signing of the tripartite Memorandum of Agreement with the Department of Energy and the Department of Trade and Industry for the collaborative undertaking of the ELI Lamp Testing and Qualification Project; the creation of the high profile National Advisory Council for Energy Efficient Lighting (NACEEL) with the acceptance of nominations of the Meralco and Cepalco CEOs, the Secretary of Energy and the Secretary of Trade & Industry; the launch of the ELI Quality Mark; the commitment forging of leading lighting manufacturers to support the ELI qualification program; the launch of the ELI Public Relations, Advocacy and Advertising Campaign (PRAAC) with the initial airing of the TV commercial and the guest appearance of local ELI celebrity endorser, leading Filipino comedian, Michael V.; as well as the show of support of IFC, Union Fenosa, Iberpacific and a host of other stakeholders of the country program. Indeed, it was the event that clearly staked the ELI flag on Philippine soil...
