Two firms from the United Arab Emirates (UAE) are looking to invest in renewable energy (RE) and data center projects in the Philippines, according to the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI).
-
Trade Secretary Cristina Roque told reporters that the Philippine delegation that recently visited UAE, met with firms including Masdar and the DAMAC Group.
During the meeting with Masdar CEO Mohamed Jameel Al Ramahi and head of Development and Investment for Asia-Pacific Fatima Al Suwaidi, discussions covered opportunities for collaboration in the clean energy sector in the Philippines.
Roque said Masdar is looking at three sites in Bohol for potential projects.
While Masdar can finance, manage and operate RE projects, Roque said the firm is also open to partnerships for undertaking projects.
She said the firm is interested in the Philippines given the country’s large market.
