The Management Association of the Philippines (MAP) and the Department of Energy (DOE) have signed the Joint Energy Action Agenda (JEAA) for 2026–2028 to accelerate the implementation of the Philippine Energy Plan (PEP) 2023–2050, which targets increased renewable energy deployment and reduced reliance on fossil fuels.
The JEAA is structured around four priority pillars: accelerating delivery of the energy mix, addressing infrastructure bottlenecks, refining the energy market to promote greater competition and financing, and managing the costs of the energy transition. Key actions include supporting fast-track approvals through the Energy Virtual One Stop Shop, unlocking waste-to-energy projects, expanding transmission development through coordination with the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines, and strengthening Retail Competition and Open Access through regulatory reforms. The initiative aligns public and private sector efforts to improve power sector planning, infrastructure delivery, financing frameworks and market design. The DOE remains the lead agency overseeing national energy strategy, while MAP will support industry coordination and private-sector participation to improve energy security, affordability and sustainability nationwide.
