Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) Secretary Cristina A. Roque recently met with executives from the B.Grimm Group to solidify a strategic partnership aimed at scaling renewable energy (RE) investments in the Philippines. The high-level discussion underscores the country’s aggressive push to modernize its energy infrastructure and attract world-class sustainable developers.
The engagement focused on B.Grimm’s robust portfolio within the Philippines, highlighting both active installations and a promising pipeline of future projects. Central to their expansion strategy is a significant increase in solar power capacity, reflecting the group’s long-term commitment to the Philippine market.
Secretary Roque reaffirmed the DTI’s dedicated support for strategic investors, noting that B.Grimm’s expertise aligns perfectly with the government’s mandate to increase the renewable energy share in the national power mix.
“The Philippines is no longer just a participant in the global energy shift; we are positioning ourselves as a premier destination for future-ready, sustainable investments,” said Secretary Roque. “Our collaboration with B.Grimm Group is a testament to the international confidence in our regulatory environment and our commitment to a low-carbon economy.”
