MOC: National Renewable Energy Program 2020-2040

Map of Content for the NREP 2020-2040 — the DOE’s flagship RE roadmap, formulated with the National Renewable Energy Board (NREB) and technical assistance from the DREAMS Project (GEF/UNDP), following national public consultation on 18 March 2021 [NREP 2020-2040, p. xiii, 2022]. It implements RA 9513 (the RE Act) and set the 35% (2030) / 50% (2040) RE-share-of-generation targets that both the PEP 2023-2050 and PDP 2023-2050 carry forward. This page is the router; the six section digests below hold the full text and data.

The NREP was originally extracted in four roughly-equal page-range passes; it has since been re-sliced along the document’s own four-chapter structure (plus its closing Annex) so each digest maps to one coherent part of the source. Chapter III — the Framework and Roadmap — is the longest, so it is split at its natural internal seam (§C = Transition Pathways & Enablers, §D = Off-Grid, Resource-Specific Programs & Roadmap). The Table 12 development-partner list, which the old pass split had cut in two, is now reassembled whole in §C.

At a glance

Headline targets [NREP 2020-2040, p.15, 2022]: RE share of generation at least 35% by 2030, at least 50% by 2040 — the 2030 figure is a reversion to the RE share the Philippines held when the RE Act was enacted in 2008, not a new high. These are the targets both PEP 2023-2050 and PDP 2023-2050 (all scenarios) are built to meet or exceed — see MOC: Philippine Energy Plan 2023-2050 and MOC: Power Development Plan 2023-2050 .

Modeling note: the NREP’s own RE Outlook (§B) did not include BESS, nuclear, hydrogen, fuel cell, ocean, or offshore wind as new-build options — these were emerging/experimental technologies at the time of the 2022 modeling run. Full detail on each RE support mechanism (RPS, FiT, net metering, GEOP, GEAP, REM, CREZ, RETF) lives in the §C digest and the linked concept/program pages.
