The Philippines is pleased to announce its hosting of the inaugural Philippine International Nuclear Supply Chain Forum (PINSCF) 2024, a landmark event that will bring together a diverse group of stakeholders to discuss the latest innovations and best practices in the nuclear energy industry. The Forum, scheduled for 13 to 15 November 2024, aims to guide the Philippines in its transition towards clean and sustainable energy systems.
The event will take place at Solaire Resort North in Quezon City, with participants from the international nuclear supply chain, power generation companies, government agencies, embassies, academia, media, and other key sectors expected to attend the three-day forum.
Countries with extensive experience in nuclear energy, such as the United States, Canada, France, Japan, and South Korea, will share their technologies, expertise, and best practices in the field. Their participation will provide valuable insights as the Philippines explores nuclear energy for a balanced, resilient, and low-carbon energy system, driving both economic growth and environmental sustainability.
"We are bringing together companies from countries with proven track records in building and maintaining the critical infrastructure needed by the energy sector. This forum will showcase their innovations and best practices, offering the Philippines the opportunity to learn and benefit from their experiences," said the Department of Energy (DOE).
"As the world transitions away from fossil fuels, each nation are weighing options for achieving energy independence and security. This forum allows us to engage with the global community while ensuring that our own stakeholders are part of the discussions," the DOE added.
PINSCF 2024 will serve as a platform for international and local participants to collaborate, exchange knowledge, and explore potential partnerships. Participants, members of the media and other interested parties are invited to register through the forum's official website, www.nuclearforumph.com.
The Philippines has formalized its commitment to exploring nuclear energy as part of its energy mix through Executive Order No. 164, s. 2022.Generating power through fission, nuclear energy is one of the cleanest sources of power, with zero carbon dioxide emission and the capacity to provide reliable and stable supply of power to the grid.
The Philippines aims to have its first nuclear power plants operational by 2032, with an initial capacity of 1,200 MW, expanding to 2,400 MW by 2035 and reaching 4,800 MW by 2050, as outlined in the PEP. This initiative is part of the country's broader strategy to diversify its energy mix, strengthen energy security, and drive investment in human capital, ultimately improving labor productivity and fostering long-term economic growth.
