Hi,
Last year (Nov 2022), Department of Energy (DOE) aready opened up the Renewable Energy Sector for 100% foreign investment and sought to update the Foreign Investment Negative List.
However, the last (12th) Regular Foreign Investment Negative List (RFINL) was published in June 2022 in which Renewable Energy is in Negative List and allows max 40% Foreign Ownership only.
In the absence of any updated RFINL, what's the status of Renewable Energy Sector- is it open for 100% or 40% foreign investment & ownership?
Does any EO clarifies this, which also would be acceptable by SEC & DOLE?
