The Philippines Department of Energy has suspended activities under the fifth Green Energy Auction round, known as GEA-5, until further notice, according to an official statement issued on 04 July.

The Department of Energy said it has informed all qualified suppliers and renewable energy stakeholders of the decision and confirmed the pause applies across the whole planned auction process.

GEA-5 was expected to allocate more than 3,300 MW of offshore wind capacity and was designed as the country’s first dedicated auction round for large-scale offshore wind projects.

The suspension allows the department to review project implementation, including port readiness, permitting requirements, environmental and port-related costs, and risks of further supply chain disruption linked to recent political developments.

The department said it will refine GEA-5 requirements and timelines before contacting stakeholders about the new arrangements.
