DOE readies coal block bidding
Manila Bulletin
|February 26, 2026
The bidding for a new coal development is set to commence on Friday, Feb. 27, as the Department of Energy (DOE) emphasizes opening these areas to private companies.
On the sidelines of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) editors and economic opinion leaders forum (AEEOLF) on Tuesday, Feb. 24, Energy Secretary Sharon Garin said that public entities, such as Philippine National Oil Co.-Exploration Corp. (PNOC-EC), may not participate in the upcoming bidding.
“EC has its own operations on coal. So, for what we are auctioning or bidding out, I don’t think there’s any prohibition on their part,” she told reporters, noting that the public corporation is discouraged from applying for any of the open mineable areas to allow private businesses exclusive competition.
