Report: China, Philippines cooperation on electricity a 'win-win'

The Philippines and China could benefit from a wealth of untapped potential in renewable energy cooperation, capitalizing on the Philippines' natural resources and Chinese know-how, according to a recently released report.

By partnering with China on renewables, the Philippines could fast-track its shift to clean energy and unlock a strategic market for Chinese companies, creating a "win-win" scenario, the report said.

The Bridging Opportunities: A Roadmap for China–Philippines Renewable Energy Cooperation report was compiled and released in April by People of Asia for Climate Solutions, a Manila-based NGO, and global nonprofit New Energy Nexus.
