Philippines Energy Summit

Against the backdrop of an improving economy, the Philippines’ goal of reaching 60 percent energy self-sufficiency in three years time is marked by the growing number of contracts given out for oil & gas explorations, intensified efforts in developing renewable energy and on-going power sector reforms. NorAsian Energy and Gas2Grid – two active upstream oil and gas companies operating in the Philippines are key industry panelists at CMT’s Philippines Energy Summit. The timely event provides you with the latest information on the policies, implementation plans, and project opportunities in the Philippines Energy and Power sector.
