Gensan Economy

23/10/2026

The 4th Mindanao Clean Energy Forum (MCEF) wrapped up today in General Santos City with a clear message: the shift to clean energy isn't just about sustainability, it is powerful driver for business growth.

As Mindanao accelerates toward a 50% renewable energy mix by 2030, GenSan is stepping up as a premier destination for green investments. Leveraging our local Energy Code and Investment Incentives Code, we are empowering local industries, from fisheries to manufacturing, to lower power costs, rising fuel prices, and boost operational resilience.

“Considering na unstable ang presyo ng fuel products, it would be great to see industries in Gensan transition to renewable energies like solar power. They could take advantage of the city’s Energy Code and Investment Incentives Code”, Atty. Leonard Flores highlighted.

This provides a clear opportunity for businesses to invest in renewable energy while maximizing the incentives and policy support available in General Santos City. By exploring solar installations and energy storage solutions, local enterprises can pursue long-term operational savings while contributing to a more sustainable business environment.
