flag Philippines to temporarily increase coal use in April to stabilize power prices amid rising LNG costs.

flag The Philippines will temporarily boost coal power generation starting in April to stabilize electricity prices amid rising LNG costs caused by Middle East disruptions. flag Energy Secretary Sharon Garin said the move, aimed at preventing rate hikes and outages, will maximize existing coal plants and increase imports from Indonesia, which has assured steady supply. flag Coal supplies about 60% of the nation’s electricity, and the shift is temporary, not a policy change. flag The government is also monitoring a new gas discovery near Malampaya and securing additional oil reserves.
