FRANCE'S NUCLEAR FOR PHILIPPINES
N - April 16, 2025 - Philippines power company Manila Electric Co (Meralco) has signed a strategic collaboration agreement with Electricité de France (EDF) to explore the potential of nuclear energy deployment in the Philippines.
“One of Philippine government’s key objectives is to achieve greater energy security for our country and nuclear power is one viable path toward that goal,” said Meralco Chairman & CEO Manuel Pangilinan. “We see this cooperation as a significant first step for Meralco, and we are committed to taking a leadership role in advancing nuclear energy in the Philippines. We look forward to deepening our collaboration with France in this crucial area.”
Meralco signed a two-year memorandum of cooperation with EDF, under which EDF will provide technical and strategic support to Meralco for a feasibility study focused on site activities, power system integration, and the economic viability of nuclear power in the energy mix.
