Finance Secretary Carlos Dominguez 3rd is looking into how foreign governments might be able to help the Philippines speed up the decommissioning and repurposing of its coal-fired power plants, particularly where foreign companies have a significant stake in their continued operation, according to the Department of Finance (DoF).
