Moratorium on new coal-fired power plants stays – DoE
By Philippine News Agency
May 10, 2026 12:16 am

THE Department of Energy (DoE) on Friday said the moratorium on new coal-fired power plants remains in effect, noting that existing facilities and projects already in the pipeline are sufficient to meet the country’s power requirements.

In a statement, the DoE said the current policy still exempts projects that secured Certificates of Non-Coverage before the moratorium was imposed.
