The National Power Corporation (Napocor) implements a European Union (EU)-funded project under the Access to Sustainable Energy in the Philippines Programme (ASEP), a joint undertaking of the EU and the Department of Energy that aims to give the poor access to affordable, clean, and disaster-resilient energy systems.

Napocor said that it recently awarded the supply and delivery of 30,500 units of Solar Home System (SHS) to Trademaster Resources Corporation. The units will be distributed to six electric cooperatives (EC) in Mindanao region such as First Bukidnon Electric Cooperative, Inc. (Fibeco), Bukidnon Second Electric Cooperative, Inc. (Buseco), Sultan Kudarat Electric Cooperative, Inc. (Sukelco), Davao del Sur Electric Cooperative, Inc. (Dasureco), South Cotabato II Electric Cooperative, Inc. (Socoteco II), and Cotabato Electric Cooperative, Inc. (Cotelco). The coops will in turn provide the units to households without access to electricity, such as those located in far-flung sitios that cannot be immediately reached by power distribution lines.
