January 06, 2026

Power giant Manila Electric Co. (Meralco) plans to start a US-backed nuclear study as early as this month to assess the feasibility of deploying small modular reactors (SMRs) in the Philippines.

- By BRIX LELIS

Meralco, chaired by tycoon Manuel V. Pangilinan, is set to undertake the SMR adoption study in coordination with the United States Trade and Development Agency (USTDA).

The company, which recently received a $2.7-million grant from the USTDA, targets issuing the request for proposals this month to select a contractor for the study.

"The study is expected to commence during the first quarter this year and is expected to be completed by the fourth quarter," Meralco told the Philippine Stock Exchange yesterday.
