Citing simulation results, Energy Secretary Sharon Garin told lawmakers that power bills could go down by “P2 to P3 per kWh” if private developers execute all 200 proposed conventional and renewable energy projects on schedule.
“This is assuming that all the green energy auction projects are delivered and all the fossil-based (projects) are also delivered,” she said during a Commission on Appointments hearing.
Garin affirmed the DOE’s commitment to ensuring the timely and successful completion of these projects.
