The government certified 222 strategic investment projects worth P5.74 trillion from February 2023 to June 30, 2025, with renewable energy accounting for the lion’s share.
Renewable energy led with 176 certified projects valued at P5.29 trillion, or 92.16 percent of total project costs, highlighting the country’s strong pivot toward sustainable power solutions.
These projects are expected to generate around 283,780 jobs and attract P1.36 trillion in foreign investments.
The certified projects across all sectors have drawn a combined total of P1.66 trillion in foreign investments, with an estimated 319,355 jobs generated.
The digital infrastructure and public-private partnership (PPP) sector followed with nine projects worth P364.88 billion, while food security and manufacturing had 31 and six projects, respectively, with a combined value of nearly P85.7 billion.
From January to June 2025 alone, 46 new projects worth P1.21 trillion were certified, still largely driven by renewable energy at 35 projects worth P1.16 trillion.
This period also saw P15.26 billion in foreign investments, though employment generation was more modest at 33,698.
Eleven renewable energy projects were certified in June, bringing in P509.21 billion in investments.
The single largest initiative was the P457-billion, 2,000 megawatt Maton Pumped Storage Hydroelectric Power Project in the Cordillera Administrative Region.
One-Stop Action Center for Strategic Investments (OSACSI) director Ernesto delos Reyes underscored the government’s continued push to attract capital-intensive, job-generating investments that sustain government goals and long-term energy security.
