Cruz Marcelo & Tenefrancia (CMT) is pleased to share that its article on “Philippines Renewable Energy Reforms and Foreign Investment Opportunities”, originally published by Law.asia, is now available in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean on https://law.asia/philippines-renewable-energy-market/.
Authored by CMT Managing Partner Patricia A. O. Bunye and Senior Associate Rafael Raymundo Evangelista, the article examines the significant reforms reshaping the Philippines’ renewable energy sector and the opportunities these developments present for domestic and international investors.
The article discusses the Philippines’ evolving renewable energy framework, including the Electric Power Industry Reform Act (EPIRA) and the Renewable Energy Act of 2008, as well as the roles of key regulatory agencies in renewable energy development. It also examines one of the sector’s most significant recent developments: the liberalization of foreign ownership restrictions for solar, wind, hydro (surface water), and ocean or tidal energy projects.
The guide further explores the investment and development landscape for renewable energy projects, including the Renewable Portfolio Standards, Green Energy Auction Program, Green Energy Option Program, and other mechanisms supporting the growth of renewable generation. It also addresses practical considerations for developers, including permitting, transmission constraints, land requirements, incentives, and the regulatory considerations applicable to different technologies.
With growing interest from international developers, investors, and technology providers in the Philippine renewable energy market, making the article available in multiple languages improves accessibility for stakeholders exploring opportunities in the country.
The addition of multilingual editions provides international readers access to the firm’s analysis of the Philippine renewable energy market, including the legal framework, foreign investment rules, regulatory requirements, incentives, and emerging opportunities shaping the sector.
