Follow Philippines Investment Immigration and Life in the Philippines: The rise in electricity prices at the end of last year sparked another round of discussions regarding the Bataan Nuclear Power Plant (PNPP), which has been mothballed for many years. Philippine Secretary of Energy Jericho Petilla told the media: "The Department of Energy is studying the possibility of activating the power plant, including social, technical, and economic factors, but it ultimately depends on the choice of the Filipino people and the decision of President Aquino. If the public agrees to activate the Bataan Nuclear Power Plant, he personally suggests expanding the existing 600-megawatt installed capacity, or even doubling it."
