DOE Permits & Energy Compliance
DOE Permits, Registration & Energy Compliance Made Simple
The Department of Energy (DOE) regulates all energy-related activities and facilities in the Philippines, including power generation, fuel storage, renewable energy projects, and energy efficiency compliance.
Businesses engaged in energy production, storage, distribution, or high energy consumption are required to secure DOE permits, registrations, and certifications to legally operate.
Our consultancy provides end-to-end DOE permit processing and energy compliance services, helping companies secure approvals efficiently while meeting national energy and safety standards.
What Are DOE Permits?
DOE permits and registrations authorize:
- Power generation and energy facilities
- Renewable energy (solar, wind, hydro, biomass) projects
- Fuel storage, retail, and distribution
- Energy efficiency and conservation compliance
- Energy audits and reporting
Operating without required DOE permits may result in facility shutdown, fines, and legal sanctions.
Types of DOE Permits & Energy Registrations
1. Certificate of Compliance (COC)
Required for power generation facilities before commercial operation.
2. Renewable Energy (RE) Service Contract
Authorizes development and operation of renewable energy projects.
3. Fuel Storage & Retail Permits
Required for:
- LPG facilities
- Fuel depots and bulk plants

4. Energy Efficiency & Conservation Compliance
Mandatory under RA 11285 for designated establishments.
Includes:
- Energy consumption reporting
- Appointment of Certified Energy Conservation Officer (CECO)
- Energy audit submission
5. Power Generation & Energy Project Registration
Includes:
- Project registration
- Grid connection compliance
- DOE endorsement and coordination
