DoE pushing nuclear energy for PH

An official of the Department of Energy (DoE) said the government is open to exploring nuclear energy for the country's electricity requirements.

Patrick Aquino, director of the DoE-Energy Utilization Management Bureau, said during the Arangkada Philippines Forum 2021 that they have made "recommendations to the President (Rodrigo Duterte) with respect to the potential of nuclear energy." "It is high time that public debates be focused toward the possible shift to nuclear power," he said.
