The National Electrification Administration (NEA; Filipino: Pambansang Pangasiwaan ng Elektripikasyon) is a government-owned and controlled corporation (GOCC) attached to the Department of Energy of the Philippines tasked in the full implementation of the rural electrification program (REP) and reinforce the technical capability and financial viability of the 121 rural electric cooperatives (ECs).

[2] The Electrification Administration was initially created and established through Republic Act 2717 without Executive approval on June 19, 1960, in order to promote and accelerate the agricultural and industrial development of the Philippines.

Nine (9) years after the creation of Electrification Administration, a National or State policy of total electrification on an area (Regional Boundaries and Special City Energy Allotment) coverage service basis, secondly, to set up Cooperatives for the distribution of power, and to determine privately-owned (Fuel or Coal Powered Electricity Utilities (e.g. Blackstone Electric) and other local public utilities (e.g.

Concrete Electric Utility Pole) which should be permitted to remain in operation, was declared through Republic Act 6038 approved on July 28, 1969, and signed (on August 4, 1969)[citation needed] by then President Ferdinand Edralin Marcos, including Presidential Decree No.

As such, the corporation will also receive from Electric Cooperatives (ECs) all articles of incorporation, amendments, consolidation, merger, conversion and dissolution, and all certificates of changes in the location of principal offices and of elections to dissolve.

Republic Act 9136 or the “Electric Power Industry Reform Act of 2001” (EPIRA) effectively condoned all outstanding financial obligations of Electric Cooperatives (ECs) to NEA and other government agencies (incurred for the purpose of financing the Rural Electrification program [REP]) and was assumed by the Power Sector Assets and Liabilities Management Corporation (PSALM).

In some June 2017 newspaper articles, then Administrator Masongsong was quoted as saying there's a move to amend the NEA Charter to allow it to regulate Electric Cooperatives (ECs) aside from monitoring and supervision, to be unofficially named National Electrification Authority.
