This broader market includes power plants and their supply chains. While the government is aiming to increase the share of renewables, coal remains a reliable baseload source. International pressure and climate goals are pushing for a gradual market shift.
Coal remains a major source of electricity, but policy changes targeting decarbonization and investor preference for clean energy are slowing the development of new coal projects. Grid reliability concerns have slowed an aggressive shift, keeping coal in the mix temporarily.
The broader coal power market is challenged by policy shifts toward sustainable energy. Legal and community resistance to new coal projects is growing, and environmental compliance costs are rising. Aging plants require significant modernization, but investment returns are increasingly uncertain due to projected phase-outs.
This segment remains relevant for base-load power generation. Investors can modernize existing infrastructure, support compliance with emissions regulations, and explore hybrid plant designs integrating renewables. Political shifts toward clean energy could influence long-term viability, requiring careful strategic planning.
The Philippine government, through the Department of Energy (DOE), has established a moratorium on new coal-fired power plant proposals since late 2020, in line with its commitment to shift toward cleaner energy sources and meet climate targets under the Paris Agreement. Existing coal plants remain operational under the National Renewable Energy Program (NREP) transition phase, but there is increasing pressure to diversify the energy mix. Environmental compliance for coal operations is governed by the DENR, which enforces emission and waste disposal standards under the Clean Air and Clean Water Acts.
