PHILIPPINES ENERGY FORUM 2026
April 8, 2026 at 12:30 AM
Manila Marriott, Newport City Complex, Pasay City Philippines
Overview
Who We Are
War in the Middle East has shocked the world and made energy security a critical issue for all countries. For the Philippines, heavily reliant on fossil fuels, its Energy Plan of reaching 50% renewable energy is now a national security objective.
Hear what needs to be done at Philippine Energy Forum 2026, with Elite Sponsors BDO Capital, DITO, Elsal Ventures, Figari, Prime Electric on April 8 at the Manila Marriott (Hotel Ballroom in Newport).
By transitioning to an energy mix dominated by solar, wind, geothermal and hydropower, the Philippines is building a "homegrown" energy shield. Unlike coal or LNG, which are subject to the whims of international markets and shipping routes, “Philippine First” renewable resources provide a predictable and stable cost structure.
Shifting to over 50% RE by 2040 isn't just about looking good by going green—it’s about achieving true energy independence. Investing in decentralized solar farms and offshore wind projects allows the archipelago to decouple its economic growth from foreign conflicts, ensuring that the "Philippine Tiger" economy is powered by its own sun and wind rather than imported volatility.
Philippine Energy Forum 2026 -- April 8 at the Manila Marriott (Hotel Ballroom in Newport). Elite Sponsors are BDO Capital, DITO, Elsal Ventures, Figari and Prime Electric Holdings.
