The Board of Investments (BOI) reported that a total of 244 projects valued at PHP6.43 trillion have been granted Green Lane certification as of March 2026.
These projects are largely concentrated in renewable energy, public-private partnership (PPP) infrastructure, water, digital infrastructure, and food security.
BOI said that around 171 projects worth PHP5.79 trillion are currently in pre-development, reflecting the scale and technical requirements of large investments that involve extensive permitting and coordination across agencies.
Forty-six projects valued at PHP359.64 billion are now under construction, while eight projects worth PHP6.99 billion are in their pre-operation stage. A total of 19 projects valued at PHP266.85 billion are already operational, particularly in renewable energy, digital infrastructure, and food security.
Trade Secretary and BOI Chair Cristina A. Roque underscored the importance of accelerating these projects, particularly in addressing supply-side constraints in the energy sector.
“Many of the projects under the Green Lane are in renewable energy and related infrastructure. Accelerating their implementation is important to help address energy supply requirements, stabilize costs, and support continued economic activity. This is why streamlining permitting and improving coordination across agencies remains a priority,” Secretary Roque said.
The Green Lane Initiative, which has been institutionalized under Executive Order No. 18, streamlines the processing of permits and clearances for strategic investments through closer coordination among national government agencies and local government units. The mechanism is designed to address bottlenecks and improve the efficiency and predictability of the investment process.
Results show shorter processing times for certain projects. For example, BOI said, the 100-megawatt Pasuquin Solar Power Project by Nanchao Renewable Energy Corp. received a crucial decision from the Energy Regulatory Commission in just 4 months, compared to the normal 9-month processing time, less than half the usual duration.
As more projects move through the pipeline, the BOI expects the Green Lane Initiative to support the timely implementation of investments in key sectors, contributing to job creation, improved infrastructure, more reliable energy supply, and enhanced access to essential services for Filipino communities.
