Phl remains heavily dependent on coal power plants, says IEA
The Philippine Star
|February 18, 2025
Despite the government's ban on new coal-fired power plants, the Philippines remains heavily dependent on coal to meet its growing energy demand, according to the International Energy Agency.
The IEA said in its latest electricity report that coal accounted for around 62 percent of the country's power generation mix in 2024.
While there is a strong push to roll out renewables, the IEA noted that coal's share in the energy mix is projected to only "marginally decrease" to 60 percent by 2027.
"Overall, the growth of coal generation moderates to four percent in 2025-2027, down from seven percent in 2018-2024," it said.
