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.
