The Philippine government must allocate at least P85 billion to achieve full electrification across the country, according to the Department of Energy (DOE).
DOE Secretary Raphael Lotilla stated in a public briefing that an estimated P85 to P100 billion is required to provide electricity to all households in the archipelago. However, reaching this goal could generate over P400 billion in economic benefits.
The 2023-2032 National Total Electrification Roadmap (NTER) targets 100% electrification by 2028, focusing on providing electricity to remote and underserved areas. The plan includes four strategies: regular household connections, distribution line extensions, standalone home systems, and microgrid systems.
DOE data shows that around 25.3 million households already have electricity, while approximately 2.5 million remain without access, affecting about 10.25 million Filipinos.
