DOE clears Meralco’s 200-MW power supply bid
The Philippine Star
|October 06, 2025
The Department of Energy (DOE) has given Pangilinan-led Manila Electric Co. (Meralco) the green light to launch an auction for 200 megawatts (MW) of new power supply.
Energy Undersecretary Mario Marasigan said the DOE cleared Meralco’s planned competitive selection process (CSP) for renewable energy baseload supply, with procurement set to start on Jan. 26, 2026.
The supply is intended to replace the power giant's terminated baseload supply contract with the Zobel family’s ACEN Corp.
Meralco, however, must first address the recommendations from the Philippine Competition Commission (PCC) and the Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) before moving forward with the CSP, Marasigan noted.
