Artelia Philippines accelerates PH’s energy transition with integrated solutions for sustainable infrastructure

Streamlines operations across five core market lines to complement DOE’s Philippine Energy Plan, national decarbonization goals

Manila, Philippines — Artelia Philippines, specializing in engineering and project management consultancy, is strategically reorienting its operations to align with the Department of Energy’s (DOE) Philippine Energy Plan and national decarbonization targets. The company is strengthening its position as a primary technical partner for companies navigating the complex shift to sustainable energy.

As the Philippines targets a 50% renewable energy share by 2050 and manages a PHP 2.60 trillion infrastructure pipeline through the “Build Better More” program, the need for specialized technical guidance is critical. Artelia Philippines is positioned to cover the entire energy value chain, from generation to consumption.

Artelia Philippines supports clients through two key solution pathways: Decarbonization and Net-Zero Pathways, which help organizations transition to cleaner, low-carbon operations through energy optimization, electrification, and renewable integration; and Sustainable and Resilient Retrofits, which upgrade existing buildings and infrastructure to enhance energy efficiency and strengthen climate and disaster resilience. Through these approaches, the firm positions itself as a long-term technical partner delivering measurable outcomes.

The impact of this approach is best seen in Artelia’s long-standing partnership with Shell. Since 2016, Artelia has provided engineering support across more than 500 sites, recently spearheading the rollout of electric vehicle (EV) charging stations and sustainable site upgrades. This partnership is underpinned by Artelia’s world-class safety record of 10 million accumulated safe man-hours from January 2019 to December 2025. This safety record reflects the combined discipline of Artelia Shell Project staff and contractor teams managing complex energy transitions in active environments.

“This strategic alignment reflects our commitment to supporting the country’s long-term sustainability and infrastructure priorities. Energy transition is not confined to one sector. It touches mobility systems, industrial operations, water infrastructure, and the built environment. Our structure allows us to deliver integrated, technically robust solutions across all these areas” said Lawrence Lumanog, Market Line Director at Artelia Philippines.

Additionally, Artelia continues to secure the country’s clean energy backbone through its Energy and Water market lines. The team recently completed comprehensive due diligence for a mini hydropower plant in Mindanao and is currently securing the Environmental Compliance Certificate (ECC) for a large-scale solar PV project in Isabela.

“Our role is to help clients bridge the gap between ambitious sustainability targets and the technical reality on the ground. By navigating complex permitting and engineering challenges, we help developers accelerate renewable capacity while ensuring strict adherence to environmental standards,” said John Rey Dañgilan Jr., Artelia Philippines’ Head of Business Development. 

Globally recognized for excellence in project management, sustainability engineering, and advisory services, the Artelia Group, whose head office is based in France, provides a strong competitive differentiator. By leveraging its international network, Artelia Philippines delivers specialized, world-class solutions, such as advanced digital twin technology and circular economy infrastructure, that are not yet widely available locally.

This is illustrated by the local team’s structural and civil engineering support for landmark Nordic projects, including Copenhagen’s Amager Bakke waste-to-energy facility and the New Hospital in North Zealand. These engagements provide a direct avenue for introducing European-standard sustainability and digital engineering expertise into the Philippines, elevating local project delivery to globally benchmarked standards.

“As infrastructure and energy priorities continue to evolve, we help clients deliver projects that are resilient and future-ready. By leveraging global expertise and strong local insight, Artelia Philippines aims to support developments that create long-term value for communities and the environment. With global energy markets facing increasing volatility and supply uncertainties due to rising geopolitical tensions, accelerating the shift toward renewable and resilient energy systems has become even more critical for countries like the Philippines to strengthen long-term energy security,” added Dañgilan Jr.
