Philippine Nuclear Energy Development

planned

The Philippine government plans to integrate nuclear energy into the country's power mix by 2032, aiming for at least 1,200 MW capacity initially, increasing to 2,400 MW by 2045 and 4,800 MW by 2050. The Department of Energy (DoE) will start accepting applications for nuclear energy projects by 2026. Several companies, including Manila Electric Co. (Meralco) and Aboitiz Power Corp., have expressed interest in developing nuclear power plants. The Philippine Atomic Energy Regulatory Authority (PhilATOM) was established to oversee nuclear energy and radiation activities, ensuring safety and compliance with international standards.
