As usual, there are many interesting stories weekly in the Philippines energy sector but these three recent reports in
BusinessWorld are of particular importance.
1. “Renewable energy program targets 55.8% share of power mix by 2040” (Feb. 15).
2. “Senate asks DoE for details of clean energy plan” (Feb. 17).
3. “SMC units submit lowest bids for 1,800-MW Meralco supply deal” (Feb. 20).
Story No. 1 is the renewable energy (RE) lobby, especially solar and wind, aiming for a near-doubling of their capacity from 29% of total installed capacity (7,400 MW out of total 25,531 MW) in 2019. This means they want coal power to be further eased out and ultimately decimated.

Finance Ministers have an uncanny way of figuring out what makes the fish bite and neutralizes the sceptics. Nicely rounded words in the budget speech – like phonetic “quick wins” – come in handy to send the roosters crowing a new Dawn.
