THE Department of Energy (DoE) announced the proposed permit approval flowchart for nuclear power developers, which it said streamlined key stages by allowing some approvals to take place in parallel instead of sequentially.
Two of the stages — business registration and the environmental clearance certificate (ECC) — are common to most projects, while the nuclear and energy-related approvals cover the siting plan, licensing and provisional permitting by the Philippine Atomic Energy Regulatory Authority (PhilAtom); and energy industry-specific approvals and licenses like testing and commissioning approvals, the DoE said.
The Philippines is hoping to integrate nuclear power into the national power mix by 2032.
