Coal-fired power generation remains a dominant source of electricity in the Philippines despite environmental concerns. The government is moving toward reducing coal dependency, but existing infrastructure and contracts maintain coals strong market share. Transition plans and renewable energy incentives may affect long-term prospects.
Coal-fired power continues to dominate the Philippine energy mix despite environmental concerns. However, recent policy shifts aim to reduce coal dependency in favor of renewables. Existing plants are still in operation, but the pipeline for new projects is shrinking due to financing challenges.
This market faces increasing pressure from environmental regulations and international funding restrictions. Global financial institutions are withdrawing support for coal projects, making financing more difficult. Public protests and the governments push for renewable energy also create regulatory risks. Additionally, outdated infrastructure in existing plants contributes to inefficiency and higher emissions, making operations less competitive.
Despite a global shift to renewables, coal-fired power remains part of the Philippine energy mix. Investors can explore opportunities in plant modernization, emission control technologies, and carbon capture integration. Strategic partnerships may be necessary to navigate regulatory and environmental concerns.
Coal-fired power is regulated under the DOE and Environmental Management Bureau (EMB). While existing coal plants continue to operate, new projects face restrictions under the moratorium on greenfield coal power plants announced in 2020. The government aims to transition toward renewable energy under the Clean Energy Scenario, and incentives are increasingly being directed to solar, wind, and hydropower, reflecting a shift in energy policy direction.
