Streamlining operations across five core market lines to complement the government’s Philippine Energy Plan and national decarbonization goals.
Amid the global push to renewable energy, the Philippines targets to reach the 50% renewable energy share by the year 2050, with a PHP2.60 trillion infrastructure plans through the “Build Better More” program already in the pipeline.
Thus, the need for specialized technical guidance is critical. In line with that, Artelia Philippines, a firm 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 long-term primary technical partner for companies navigating the complex shift to sustainable energy, positioning itself to cover the entire energy value chain—from generation to consumption—and deliver measurable outcomes.
Artelia Philippines supports clients through two key solution pathways: Decarbonization and Net-Zero Pathways. Those help organizations transition to cleaner, low-carbon operations through energy optimization, electrification, renewable integration.
They also have Sustainable and Resilient Retrofits, which upgrade existing buildings and infrastructure to enhance energy efficiency and strengthen climate and disaster resilience.
PARTNERSHIP WITH SHELL
Since 2016, Artelia has provided engineering support across more than 500 sites of the oil company Shell, 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—a safety record reflecting the combined discipline of Artelia Shell Project staff and contractor teams managing complex energy transitions in active environments.
Lawrence Lumanog, Market Line Director at Artelia Philippines, noted: “This strategic alignment reflects our commitment to supporting the country’s long-term sustainability and infrastructure priorities.”
He then underscored that the energy transition is not confined to one sector, as 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,” he added.
HYDROPOWER AND SOLAR
Additionally, Artelia also continues to secure the country’s clean energy backbone through its Energy and Water market lines, with the team having recently completed comprehensive due diligence for a mini hydropower plant in Mindanao.
Currently, they are also 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,” said John Rey Dañgilan Jr., Artelia Philippines’ Head of Business Development.
He added, “By navigating complex permitting and engineering challenges, we help developers accelerate renewable capacity while ensuring strict adherence to environmental standards.”
Artelia Philippines is the local subsidiary of the Artelia Group, a global leader in engineering, project management, and consultancy based in France, operating across five key market lines: Mobility, Water, Energy, Buildings, and Industry.
Established in 2006 and integrated into the Artelia network in 2019, the company employs over 160+ professionals.
It leverages the international network to deliver end-to-end solutions across the full project lifecycle from planning and design to construction, operations.
They also have specialized solutions, such as advanced digital twin technology and circular economy infrastructure, that are not yet widely available locally.
With its blend of local expertise and global technical capability, the company provides future-ready, sustainable, and high-performing project solutions tailored to the Philippine market and even abroad.
The local team has made structural and civil engineering support for landmark Nordic projects, including Copenhagen’s Amager Bakke waste-to-energy facility and the New Hospital North Zealand.
All 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.
Dañgilan Jr. added, “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.”
He also reflected that with global energy markets facing increasing volatility and supply uncertainties due to rising geopolitical tensions, the acceleration of the shift toward renewable and resilient energy systems has become “even more critical for countries like the Philippines to strengthen long-term energy security.”
