MANILA – The Board of Investments approved Green Lane certification for 26 strategic projects worth an estimated Php 455.64 billion from January to September 2026, with renewable energy investments accounting for nearly the entire pipeline.
BOI data showed that 21 renewable energy projects made up Php 450.25 billion of the total certified investments, underscoring the sector’s dominant share in projects seeking faster government processing.
The remaining certified projects included one digital infrastructure project valued at Php 3.43 billion, two food security projects worth Php 98 million, one manufacturing project and one public-private partnership involving infrastructure and water.
The projects are also expected to generate thousands of jobs, with renewable energy investments projected to account for around 46,346 positions.
Manufacturing projects are seen creating 290 jobs, followed by food security with 102, PPP infrastructure and water with 100, and digital infrastructure with 17.
The Green Lane program is designed to speed up the processing of permits, licenses and other regulatory requirements for strategic investments considered important to the country’s economic development.
The initiative operates under Executive Order No. 18, issued on Feb. 23, 2023, which established Green Lanes for strategic investments in national government agencies and local government units.
The policy is intended to reduce delays in approvals and help move major investments from planning to implementation more quickly in support of the government’s socioeconomic agenda.
Since the Green Lane mechanism was launched in February 2023, the BOI’s one-stop action center for strategic investments has certified 248 projects.
These projects represent a cumulative investment pipeline of Php 6.43 trillion, equivalent to about USD 112.96 billion, and are projected to generate 428,074 jobs.
The growing pipeline reflects the government’s continued push to attract large-scale investments in energy, infrastructure, manufacturing, food security and other priority sectors.
