Saskatchewan and the Philippines Partner for a Cleaner Energy Future

Updated: 4 days ago


In a bold move toward a more sustainable future, the Government of Saskatchewan and the Philippines' Department of Energy signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on June 5, 2025, marking a new chapter in international clean energy cooperation.

This agreement aims to deepen collaboration on key energy priorities, including:

  • Research and development of clean energy technologies

  • Feasibility studies on small modular reactors (SMRs)

  • Smart grid innovation and energy storage solutions

  • Workforce and academic exchange programs, especially in nuclear engineering

  • Inclusive energy policy development, engaging Indigenous and community voices


The partnership underscores a shared commitment to addressing global energy challenges through innovation and cooperation. For Saskatchewan, it’s an opportunity to showcase its expertise in clean energy—particularly in nuclear and emerging technologies. For the Philippines, it's a strategic step forward in exploring SMRs and accelerating its low-carbon energy transition.

“This MOU represents a meaningful step in our 75 years of bilateral relations,” said Philippine Ambassador Andrelita Austria, emphasizing the long-term potential of this collaboration.

Trade and Export Development Minister Warren Kaeding echoed that sentiment, noting that Saskatchewan's innovation in energy aligns well with the Philippines’ increasing demand for reliable, sustainable power.


Why it matters

This partnership is not only a diplomatic milestone—it’s a signal to clean energy companies, educational institutions, and technology innovators across Canada and ASEAN. It opens new doors for collaboration and reinforces the critical role of international cooperation in achieving global sustainability goals.

As the clean energy landscape evolves, partnerships like this serve as a blueprint for how regions can come together to build a greener, more resilient future.
