The Philippines, through the Department of Energy (DOE), and the Republic of Korea launched a knowledge sharing program (KSP) that will focus on critical energy priorities, including electric vehicles integration and charging infrastructure, renewable energy integration and grid modernization, advanced battery storage systems and nuclear energy development.
The 2024/25 KSP is a key bilateral initiative aimed at fostering energy cooperation and building a secure, resilient energy system for the future, which was conceived following high-level discussions between the governments of the Philippines and Korea in August 2024.
It serves as a strategic platform for the exchange of expertise and best practices, enabling the Philippines to benefit from Korea’s advancements in energy technologies while showcasing its own strengths in renewable energy, particularly in geothermal and pumped hydropower generation.
The Philippines submitted three key proposals that align with its energy transition and socioeconomic development goals as part of the program. These include initiatives on accelerating electric vehicle adoption and charging infrastructure, integrating floating solar and smart grid technologies, and strengthening capacity building for clean energy development.
