Alpas Pinas Calls for the Philippine Nuclear Power Plant’s Activation to Address Energy Crisis

Alpas Pinas, a non-stock, non-profit organization leading the advocacy for nuclear energy as a clean energy source, emphasizes the urgency of exploring the activation of the Philippine Nuclear Power Plant (PNPP) considering the country's low power reserves.

With the Philippines facing low power reserve margin, there is a pressing need to augment the country's power supply to meet the growing demand. Alpas Pinas sees the activation of the PNPP as a strategic solution to bolstering the country's power reserves and ensuring a stable and reliable power supply.

Gayle Certeza, convenor of Alpas Pinas, stated, “We believe that adding nuclear energy into our country’s energy mix has the potential to help address our power challenges. Nuclear is the cleanest, cheapest, and most efficient means of producing electricity. It can provide a long-term solution to increasing electricity rates, allowing Filipino families to save more. It will also help ensure more energy abundant, environmentally protected, and a bright future for every Filipino.”
