Department of Energy and Exist Software Labs Partner to Power a Smarter Electrification System

Exist Software Labs recently held a ceremonial signing with the Department of Energy, marking a key milestone in their collaboration to support the country’s electrification initiatives through the DOE Electrification Service Monitoring System (DESMS).

The partnership reflects a shared commitment to leveraging technology to strengthen transparency, accountability, and data-driven decision-making across national electrification programs. Through DESMS, both organizations aim to enable smarter planning, clearer visibility, and more effective implementation of electrification efforts nationwide.

The program underscored the alignment between Exist Software Labs and the Department of Energy in advancing nationwide electrification through digital solutions. Backed by Exist’s more than two decades of experience in delivering enterprise-grade platforms, the collaboration focuses on developing a scalable and secure DOE Electrification Service Monitoring System designed to support long-term operational and policy objectives.

Aligned with the Department of Energy’s mandate to provide accessible, reliable, and affordable energy for all Filipinos, DESMS forms part of broader digital transformation efforts to improve coordination, monitoring, and oversight across electrification initiatives. By using a centralized DOE Electrification Service Monitoring System to track progress and identify gaps, stakeholders are better equipped to make informed decisions and prioritize communities most in need of access to electricity.

Objectives of the DOE Electrification Service Monitoring System

Access to reliable and sustainable electrification remains a critical driver of socio-economic development. Despite ongoing efforts, a significant number of households across the country remain unenergized, unserved, or underserved. The development of the DOE Electrification Service Monitoring System (DESMS) aims to support the Department of Energy, concerned agencies, and Distribution Utilities in addressing these gaps through a more structured and data-driven approach.

DESMS is designed to collect, plan and program, verify, and analyze reports of unenergized households, while providing the Department of Energy and its stakeholders with the necessary profiles and insights to deliver appropriate electrification solutions. The system encourages voluntary reporting of unelectrified areas by end-users, power stakeholders, NGOs, and local government units.

Reported information will be validated against existing electrification plans and programs of Distribution Utilities, the National Electrification Administration, and the National Power Corporation, ensuring accuracy, coordination, and effective implementation. Through DESMS, the Department of Energy strengthens its ability to respond to electrification needs with timely, evidence-based action.

Formalizing a Partnership for National Impact

The event concluded with the ceremonial signing, officially formalizing the partnership between Exist Software Labs and the Department of Energy. The signing symbolized a shared commitment to deploying the DOE Electrification Service Monitoring System to strengthen execution, enhance transparency, and support inclusive growth—helping expand access to electricity and create greater opportunities for communities across the Philippines.
