The Department of Energy (DOE) is considering a stricter but more streamlined mechanism to reopen terminated service contracts for renewable energy (RE) projects

- BY GABRIELL CHRISTEL GALANG

Energy Assistant Secretary Mylene Capongcol told reporters that the agency is actively monitoring dormant RE projects, including those with delayed timelines of over three years.

These idle developments would eventually be placed under the Open and Competitive Selection Process (OCSP), which is awards new RE service contracts through a strategic bidding system.

Capongcol noted, however, that the DOE has yet to find alternative ways to revive delayed projects, as reallocating contracts still falls under OCSP, which is reportedly a lengthy process.
