MANILA – Over 90 projects worth about P2 trillion are queuing up in the One-Stop Action Center for Strategic Investments (OSAC-SI) at the Board of Investments (BOI) to acquire green lane certificates.
Most of the projects are in the Renewable Energy (RE) sector, BOI Director Ernesto delos Reyes Jr. said on the sidelines of an RE forum organized by the Economic Journalists Association of the Philippines and Aboitiz Power Corp. at the Securities and Exchange Commission headquarters in Makati City on Friday.
