Every year, millions of people worldwide switch off their lights for Earth Hour, a symbolic act of environmental consciousness and this year’s event is slated to happen on Saturday (March 22, 2025). However, once the hour is over, energy consumption quickly returns to normal, often with an even higher surge in usage. We often think “Oh, I already did my part” but that’s frankly not enough. While Earth Hour is a great initiative to raise awareness about energy conservation, the real challenge lies in adopting long-term, sustainable practices. This is where the likes of PhilEnergy Expo 2025 comes in. As the premier energy trade event in the Philippines, they showcase smarter and more environmental-friendly energy solutions that go beyond just an hour of conservation.

What is PhilEnergy Expo 2025?

Bringing together local and international leaders, brands, organizations, and businesses, PhilEnergy Expo 2025 brings together latest advancements in renewable energy (RE), energy efficiency (EE), electric and power (E&P), electric vehicles (EV), and energy storage (ES) at the SMX Convention Center Manila in Pasay City from March 19 to 21, 2025. With the theme “Shaping the Philippines’ Energy Sector for a Sustainable Future,” the expo highlights ongoing efforts to promote clean energy and sustainable technologies. With the Philippines pushing for 35% renewable energy generation by 2030 and over 50% by 2040, PhilEnergy Expo 2025 is set to serve as an avenue for knowledge-sharing, collaboration, and investment opportunities in the country’s energy transition.

Sneak Peek Inside

Why Attend?

While PhilEnergy only takes up a small portion of the convention center vs the ongoing PhilWater Expo, expect a lot of opportunities to network with energy professionals, policymakers, and business leaders from the Department of Energy and global organizations such as Philippine Energy Efficiency Alliance Inc. (PE2), Electric Vehicle Association of the Philippines (EVAP), and more.

Panel discussions, workshops, and free educational sessions on key topics like the circular economy in the energy sector, off-grid and mini-grid solutions, and power and energy security are also scheduled throughout the 3-day event, which you can attend for free.

Lastly, whether you’re a business owner looking for energy-saving solutions or an investor scouting for sustainable ventures, PhilEnergy Expo 2025 provides a platform to explore innovative technologies and build business and investment partnerships.

With Earth Hour taking place on Saturday, March 22, now is a good time to start thinking about how we can move beyond just turning off the lights for an hour. PhilEnergy Expo 2025 is not just about showcasing energy solutions, it’s about reshaping how we consume and manage energy for the long term.
