DoE upbeat on adding 10,000 MW to supply

THE Department of Energy (DoE) on Tuesday expressed confidence that it would add about 10,000 megawatts (MW) by 2021 to bolster the Philippines’ power supply.

On the sidelines of the 6th E-Power Mo Conference at the department’s headquarters in Taguig City, Energy Undersecretary Felix William Fuentebella said that although the targeted 10,000-MW capacity could be attained, power reserves remained somewhat thin.
