The Board of Investments (BoI), the premier investment promotion arm of the Department of Trade and Industry, reported that only 17 projects out of 233 projects that gained Green Lane status are now operational.

“There are 17 operational projects with a total value of about P258.19 billion. Digital infrastructure accounts for the largest share of operational investment value, followed by renewable energy and food security, reflecting sectors that are already delivering tangible economic and service impacts,” the BoI report, released on Tuesday, said.

Projects endorsed in the Green Lane

The agency said that in 2025, endorsed in the Green Lane were projects with a total project cost of P1.96 Trillion or 32 percent of the total project cost, of which P86.92 billion are foreign direct investments.

For January 2026, the 300 MW San Jose Onshore Wind Power Project by San Jose Onshore Wind Power Corporation, a project worth P30.92 billion located in Nueva Ecija, was endorsed under the Green Lane.

The BoI further reported that at the start of 2026, the groundbreaking of Spotlight Power Inc.’s 49.9-megawatt Mabini Solar Power Project in Barangay San Pedro, Mabini, Pangasinan was held on 25 January, “making the project a concrete outcome of the government’s efforts to accelerate strategic investments under the Green Lane initiative as the project reached the groundbreaking stage within eleven months from pre-development, compared with the usual two-year timeline for similar undertakings.”

162 projects in the pre-development stage

Meanwhile, the BoI relayed that 162 of the 233 projects are now in the pre-development stage, valued at approximately P5.51 trillion, largely under the renewable energy (RE) sector, which accounts for the majority of projects and investment value, followed by public-private partnerships (PPP), infrastructure and water projects.

On the other hand, 47 projects worth P366.26 billion are currently under construction, with RE remaining the leader in project count, while food security and manufacturing show active implementation.

Digital infrastructure projects under construction also contribute significantly to the total project value, indicating steady progress toward completion.

Furthermore, the report said seven projects, primarily from RE, manufacturing, PPP, infrastructure, and bulk water with a combined value of approximately P5.23 billion, are in the pre-operation stage.
