The project is implemented by the Local Government Unit Guarantee Corp., a credit guarantee company owned by the Bankers Association of the Philippines and the Development Bank of the Philippines.

In a statement, the Washington-based bank said: “This guarantee will enable these cooperatives to expand their electricity network, invest in renewable energy like small hydroelectric and solar power plants and expand electricity access for poor households.”
