Upcoming 2025 Energy and Grid Conference in the Philippines

The Philippines is witnessing a surge in renewable energy (RE) investment, with major projects in solar, wind, hydropower, geothermal, and battery storage systems propelling the country's energy transition. The Department of Energy (DOE) has endorsed 78 new power projects so far in 2025, 63 of which are renewable energy facilities [1].

This upward trend aligns with the Philippines' ambitious targets of achieving a 35% renewable energy share by 2030 and 50% by 2040, with solar power playing a leading role due to the country's high solar irradiance and favourable conditions [2].

Notable projects include the 1,246 MW Roxas Onshore Wind Power Project in Oriental Mindoro by CI San Jose Corp., a 500 MW Cebu Wind Energy Project by Philippine New Energy Development Inc., and Embrace Nature Power1 Corp.’s 180 MW Agrovoltaic Solar Power Project with integrated 96 MW / 192 MWh battery energy storage in General Santos City [1].

International players such as ib vogt are also making significant strides in the Philippines. The company is progressing on large-scale solar projects like the 99 MWp Tantangan Solar Power Plant in Mindanao, which is expected to power over 82,000 homes and offset more than 66,000 tonnes of CO₂ annually [3][4]. ib vogt is also involved in a 300 MW solar PV park under development in partnership with AC Energy [4].

Strategic plans by companies like Meralco PowerGen Corporation (MGen) and ACWA Power aim to co-develop 1.7 GW of utility-scale renewable energy projects nationwide [4]. Meanwhile, MGreen’s solar-plus-storage initiative targets powering 2.4 million homes by 2026, marking one of the world’s largest projects of its kind and bolstering grid reliability and energy security amid rising demand [5].

The government's support for renewable energy is evident in policies like the Renewable Portfolio Standard and the Green Energy Auction Program (GEAP), which facilitate the procurement of thousands of megawatts of renewable capacity annually, predominantly solar but also including wind, hydro, and biomass [2]. This policy environment, coupled with increasing investment from local and international firms, positions the Philippines to significantly expand its clean energy capacity and reduce reliance on fossil fuels in the coming decades.

The "Advancing towards a Net-Zero Future of Energy in the Philippines through Innovation and Collaboration" event, scheduled to convene mostly from across the renewable energy sector, will provide a platform for discussions about the most updated challenges in the region and propose practical solutions [6]. More than 300 delegates from the renewable energy value chain, including renewable energy leaders in the Philippines, are expected to attend [7].

With the event focusing on in-depth discussions about the challenges in the region and finding solutions, it promises to be a significant step forward in the Philippines' renewable energy journey [5]. Major players like Masdar, Actis, KEPCO, and the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP) have shown their commitment to the sector by investing billions in renewable energy, nuclear, and smart grid projects [4].

As the Philippines navigates the increasingly integrated energy landscape via technological innovations and collective efforts, it is poised to become a leader in renewable energy in the region [4]. The GEA-4 auction, which has been released, and the GEA-5, set to begin in July this year, indicate a new rush for project investment in the Philippine energy sector [8]. The Philippines' strong upward trend in renewable energy investment promises a brighter, cleaner, and more sustainable future for the country.
