The Philippine Department of Energy (DOE) has unveiled a 10-year plan to add 25 gigawatts (GW) of renewable energy capacity by 2035 through the Green Energy Auction (GEA) Program. Announced during the Renewable Energy Investment Forum, the program will conduct competitive auctions for technologies including solar, wind, and biomass.

The DOE targets to auction over 8 GW from 2026 to 2027, with GEA-6 focusing on floating solar and wind, GEA-7 on rooftop solar and solar-plus-storage, and GEA-8 on specialized solar technologies. The government aims for a 35% renewable energy share by 2030 and 50% by 2040.
