In February 2023, the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) Region 02, in collaboration with Cagayan State University – Carig Campus, conducted an energy audit at Aparri Provincial Hospital. The initiative aims to reduce the hospital's monthly energy consumption by 10%, thereby lowering operational costs and promoting sustainable energy use. This project is part of the Cagayan Valley Industry Energy and Emerging Technology R&D Consortium's efforts to improve energy efficiency in institutions.
