As of 2017, the International Renewable Energy Agency estimates the Philippines' net installed geothermal energy capacity to at 1.9 gigawatts (GW)—out of the global geothermal installed capacity of 12.7 GW ranking behind the United States (2.5 GW) and ahead of Indonesia (1.5 GW). [10]
The Philippines utilizes renewable energy sources including hydropower, geothermal and solar energy, wind power and biomass resources. [citation needed] In 2013, these sources contributed 19,903 GWh of electrical energy, representing 26.44 percent of the country's electricity needs. [1]
The Tongonan Geothermal Power Station [1] is a 232.5 MW geothermal power plant or an earth steam turbined electric generator—the world's largest geothermal power plant under one roof located in Tongonan, Kananga, Leyte, Philippines. The power plant is one of four operating in the Leyte Geothermal Production Field. [1]
The Philippines is the world's second largest generator of geothermal energy and was the first Southeast Asian nation to invest in large-scale solar and wind technologies. [31] The country's geographic location in the Pacific makes it a good potential for renewable energy generation with 76.6 GW wind, 10 GW hydropower, 15828 MW solar, 500 MW ...
Estimates suggest that superhot rock geothermal could supply electricity at costs between $20 and $46 per megawatt-hour, comparing favorably with natural gas, wind, and solar power, currently at ...
The Makiling–Banahaw (Mak–Ban) Geothermal Power Plant was developed to harness the geothermal resources of the Mak–Ban or Bulalo field. The Chevron Geothermal Philippine Holdings, Inc., under a service contract with the state-owned National Power Corporation (NPC) commissioned the geothermal station field in 1979. [2]
