The Department of Energy (DOE) is enforcing its regulatory mandate with full force. The DOE closely monitors all renewable energy developers and has acted decisively against those that failed to meet their contractual obligations, including non-compliance with work program requirements, failure to satisfy the Green Energy Auction Program (GEAP) Terms of Reference, and non adherence to established DOE standards.
Under its strict enforcement drive in 2025, the DOE has terminated eight (8) additional renewable energy service contracts. The DOE’s actions follow a comprehensive technical and legal evaluation of the affected projects’ compliance with the material terms and conditions of their respective service contracts.
The DOE will continue to uphold high standards for the succeeding GEAP rounds and may impose further sanctions, including blacklisting, forfeiture of performance bonds, and the imposition of applicable penalties.
This latest round of terminations brings the total number of revoked contracts in 2025 to eighty-four (84). These terminated renewable energy service contracts represent an estimated 5,372.209 megawatts (MW) of potential capacity that had been factored into the country’s energy planning assumptions.
The DOE is actively revisiting supply-demand scenarios and undertaking further system planning to determine appropriate next steps toward meeting established generation targets. Energy Secretary Sharon S. Garin said, “Renewable energy development must be fast, but it must also be accountable.
The DOE will not compromise on contract discipline. Service contracts are performance commitments, and renewable energy projects must deliver real, reliable power for Filipino consumers.”
The DOE continues its enforcement review and has identified forty-two (42) other renewable energy projects that may be subject to termination.
This enforcement action affirms the DOE’s commitment to accountability and the integrity of the renewable energy development pipeline. Contract termination ensures that service contracts are awarded to capable, committed developers with the readiness
