The Philippine Economic Zone Authority (PEZA) has attracted renewable energy investment leads following its recent mission to Poland, advancing the country’s efforts to promote sustainable infrastructure and ecozone development.

The investment roadshow, held in Warsaw and Gdansk, generated foreign direct investment (FDI) interest from Polish companies and consortiums in key sectors such as renewable energy, data centers, and clean technology. The mission was organized in coordination with the Polish Investment and Trade Agency (PAIH), the Philippine Embassy in Poland, and the Philippine Trade and Investment Center in Berlin, as detailed in a post on PEZA’s Facebook page. 

Among the most significant leads is a planned EUR 60-million investment by a consortium of Polish, American, and Filipino investors to establish a data center integrated with renewable energy and water desalination components. The possible site is targeted for development in Camarines Norte, with the group also eyeing the establishment of similar facilities in two other Philippine ecozone locations.

Also highlighted during the mission was a green tech start-up that has developed an advanced air and water purification technology using photocatalytic membranes. The system is currently being piloted on a private farm in Mindanao, and the company is exploring the potential to establish manufacturing operations in the Philippines as it gains traction in the Southeast Asian market.

“These developments highlight the growing role of renewable energy and green technology in attracting high-impact, future-ready investments to the Philippines,” PEZA said in a statement.

The PEZA-led mission comes at a strategic time, coinciding with ongoing free trade agreement negotiations between the Philippines and the European Union under the administration of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. Trade Secretary Ma. Cristina A. Roque emphasized the importance of these efforts in driving long-term investments and export growth.

Currently, PEZA hosts over 300 European Union locator companies, including a Polish IT-BPM firm, with cumulative investments exceeding PHP 400 billion and generating over 500,000 jobs. The agency views these new renewable energy projects as part of its grander strategy to modernize ecozone infrastructure and support the country’s transition to a more resilient and sustainable economy.
