EXPLANATORY NOTE 
The Constitution, Article 2, Seytion 20 provides that: 
SEC. 20. The State recognizes the indispensable role of the private sector, 
encourages private enterprise, and provides incentives to needed investments. 
As the price of power increases due to the increase of oil price in the international 
market, more and more efforts are being undertaken to provide for alternative sources of energy. 
, 
As we seek to be more self-sufficient iheliergy generation, it is imperative that we not only look 
for alternative sources of energy but alL prokote efficient use of energy by the industries, more 
particularly the energy intensive manufacturing sector. By providing initiatives and incentives to 
support efforts in developing technologies that provide alternative sources and promote efficient 
use of energy, we can produce innovations that may be translated into efficiency improvements 
in buildings, transportation, and other economic sectors that depend upon these industries. 
This bill seeks to mandate the Department of Energy to promote collaborative efforts 
with the private sector, particularly the manufacturing sector, to broaden and accelerate the 
research and development of new manufacturing processes that optimize energy efficiency and 
utilize diverse sources of energy.'
