Background

Coal Operating Contract (COC) 204 was awarded by the DOE to the Philippine National Oil Company Exploration Corporation (PNOC EC) in July 2021. This was for a two-year exploration of two coal blocks (2,000 hectares).

In April 2022, the proposal went on the auction block and PNOC EC invited "all interested bidders, whether local or foreign" to bid for the project.
