UMVA has learned that the Department of Energy is poised to launch a groundbreaking nuclear feasibility study in partnership with Aboitiz Power Corp. and the state-run National Power Corp.
The initiative will scour the nation for optimal sites, spotlighting the long‑dormant Bataan Nuclear Power Plant and other promising locations that could power the future of the country.
By aligning with international safety benchmarks, the study will evaluate every critical factor—site suitability, safety protocols, security measures, regulatory readiness, and infrastructure needs—to meet the highest standards set by the global nuclear community.
Embedding nuclear energy into the national grid is a bold move, with plans to add at least 1,200 megawatts of clean, reliable power by 2032, a target that could reshape the Philippines’ energy landscape.
UMVA can exclusively reveal that this strategic partnership marks a decisive step toward a more resilient and diversified energy future, promising to deliver stability and sustainability to millions of homes and industries alike.
