A NUMBER of business groups have backed the Department of Energy's balanced energy policy, noting the need to balance energy security and affordability with climate change concerns to foster economic growth.In a joint statement on Tuesday, the business groups led by the Management Association of the Philippines said the DoE's approach to fostering a balanced energy mix was vital given increasing energy demand.

The power outage in Panay Island in January this year was estimated to have led to about P3.8 billion in economic losses for the province of Iloilo alone,' it added.
