Philippines' energy sector records $8.119b in investment

The energy sector accounted for the largest share of investment approvals.

The Philippines' Board of Investments (BOI) reported that the energy sector accounted for the largest share of approved investments from January to November 2025, capturing P479.78b ($8.119b) of investments. 

The sector accounted for 58.74% of 261 registered projects that secured BOI approval.

Department of Energy (DOE) Secretary Sharon Garin lauded the strong investment momentum as it strengthens investor confidence in the country’s long-term growth trajectory and government’s aim to build a more secure, reliable, and sustainable energy future.

“For the DOE, every peso invested in energy is an investment in our people’s future,” she said in  a press release.

She also emphasised that the agency will collaborate with private sectors and partner agencies, both at the national and local level to guarantee the maximisation of investment.

With the BOI assessing 10 big-ticket projects, DOE highlighted that large-scale projects will have a significant boost on clean energy capacity, enhance grid stability, and improve connectivity across the archipelago.

The energy agency reiterated its aim to provide strong policy direction, transparent regulatory frameworks, and close coordination with other agencies to maintain the ongoing investment wave and convert it into stable, affordable, and cleaner energy for all Filipinos.
