  • CEFI Roadmap: 2 thematic areas: OSW finance (9 action areas) + EEC in public buildings (6 action areas)

CEFI Roadmap — OSW (9 Action Areas)

  1. Long-term vision + fixed-bottom vs floating targets
  2. Cross-government collaboration (aligned Maritime Spatial Planning/TDP/NREP)
  3. NAMRIA data integration + digital investor data room
  4. EVOSS integration + unified permitting + clear agency roles
  5. GEAP OSW band + transparent GEAR pricing + CPPAs + inflation-indexed tariff
  6. Transmission: proactive DOE/TransCo/NGCP planning; OSW included in CREZ; TDP inclusion simplified
  7. Port/onshore support assessment with DOTr
  8. MDBs + IFIs (first-loss guarantees) + ECAs; concessional finance for early projects
  9. Workforce: OSW skills training; oil-and-gas sector transfer; overseas Filipino professionals

CEFI Roadmap — EEC in Public Buildings (6 Action Areas)

  1. Cross-government planning + EEC public buildings working group
  2. Regulatory reform: EPCs (mixed contracts); revised procurement rules; medium-term ESCO regulatory environment
  3. LGU access to finance: budget increase + commercial credit awareness
  4. Data/transparency: BEEI (Building Energy Efficiency Index) data
  5. Capacity building: full supply chain coverage
  6. Energy Savings Insurance (ESI): MDB-authorized trials for LGUs

ETM and Transition Credits

  • ACEN SLTEC: 246 MW coal, Batangas; first Philippine market-based ETM; AMA (25yr offtake/risk allocation to ACEN); OMSA (O&M reliability + green job transition); Call Option (ACEN repurchase 2030–2040); GSIS equity + private companies + local bank debt; 50M tons CO2 reduction projected; transition credits can accelerate retirement to 2030; post-retirement: large battery or green manufacturing facility
  • ADB Mindanao CFPP ETM: BOT; target retirement 2026 (5 years early)
  • Transition credits: Article 6.2 Paris Agreement; voluntary/compliance market structure; PPA remaining term as basis
  • Korea K-ETS (2015): 684 emitters; 74% national GHG; East Asia’s first nationwide ETS
  • Philippines: no domestic compliance ETS as of 2023

Energy Resiliency Financing

  • International climate finance: GCF, GEF, AF, CTCN, LDF
  • DRFI: shields energy infrastructure from hazard costs; cushions consumer rate impact; DOE to establish guidelines
