Financing Utilities for Sustainable Energy Development (FUSED)

The FUSED Program aims to contribute in the increase access to electricity services through financing in order to help achieve inclusive growth and poverty reduction. At the end of the FUSED Program by 2030, it is expected to have at least funded Php 40 Billion of the estimated investment requirement for power generation and distribution in the Philippine Energy Plan 2012-2030.
