The conduct of this CSP is in compliance with the Department of Energy’s (DOE) policy on Renewable Portfolio Standards and forms part of Meralco’s commitment to source an increasing portion of its supply requirements from RE sources.

Through its Bids and Awards Committee for PSAs, Meralco calls on power generation companies to submit Expressions of Interest by June 7. The Pre-Bid Conference is scheduled on June 17, while the Bid Submission Deadline is set for July 17.


As part of its long-term sustainability strategy, Meralco has already contracted 1,880 MW of RE capacity from various suppliers—exceeding its initial target of 1,500 MW. Through its strategic sourcing initiatives, RE is expected to account for 22% of Meralco’s supply portfolio by 2030.
