MANILA, Philippines – Only 31 projects out of the new 200 power generation assets President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. committed to switch on by 2028 have been fired up so far, the country’s energy secretary said.

Department of Energy (DOE) chief Sharon Garin said the agency was thus fast-tracking the construction of the remaining power facilities.

This was according to her speech delivered by DOE undersecretary Felix William Fuentebella at the Economic Journalists Association of the Philippines’ energy forum on Tuesday.
