The National Geothermal Association of the Philippines (NGAP) expressed strong optimism for the future of local renewable energy following the approval of the ₱10.07 billion Philippine Geothermal Resource De-Risking Facility (PGRDF) by the Economy and Development Council. The landmark fund specifically targets high upfront exploration and initial drilling costs, which have historically acted as barrier to greenfield geothermal projects. By absorbing a portion of the financial uncertainties, the facility targets unlocking vital indigenous baseload energy, reduce the country's reliance on imported fuels, and bolster long-term energy security.
