Open for business... but short on supply?
Wednesday, 18 March, 2026
Despite being operational for three years, the Green Energy Option Program (GEOP) has reached over 500 customers by the end of 2024. Mindanao gained access to the program in March of that year, following the historic interconnection of the national grid. The awareness gap is real. But awareness alone isn't the whole story.The deeper challenge, one that doesn't get discussed enough, is supply. Until energy storage solutions, particularly battery technology, are fully integrated into the supply chain, renewable energy suppliers face genuine limitations in what they can reliably offer GEOP customers. In this episode of REalTalk, we sit down with Lyka Delos Santos from the Renewable Energy Management Bureau of the Department of Energy who walks us through the current state of the National Renewable Energy Program, the government's roadmap to 35% renewable energy by 2030 and 50% by 2040, and the specific policy mechanisms that are being developed to make GEOP more accessible and more impactful.
