                    [Summary] => The Department of Energy (DOE) has recently issued guidelines for the entry of the so-called qualified third parties (QTPs) in the unserved areas within the franchise of distribution utilities (DUs). 


Under Department Circular No. 2004-06-006, Energy Secretary Vincent S. Perez said a set of the criteria was drawn for QTPs in providing electricity service to remote and unviable areas within the franchise area of DUs. 


Perez said there are a number of barangays still unserved by the distribution utility present in the area due to different reasons.
