Geothermal power in the Philippines is the country's second largest source of renewable energy, and the fifth largest source of energy overall. Among sources of renewable energy, it is second only to hydroelectric power, although both sources are surpassed by the amount of energy drawn from coal, oil, and natural gas in that order. [1]
For the sake of energy security, there is momentum to develop renewable energy sources. The types available include hydropower , geothermal power , wind power , solar power and biomass power . The government of the Philippines has legislated a number of policies in order to increase the use of renewable energy by the country.

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]
Renewable electricity generation by source and country in 2023 [1] This is a list of countries and dependencies by electricity generation from renewable sources. [1] Renewables accounted for 30% of electric generation in 2023. Renewables consist of hydro (47%), wind (26%), solar (18%), biomass (8%) and geothermal (1%).
The Philippines also generates a significant amount of electrical energy from oil, albeit to a lesser degree than compared to coal and natural gas. In 2013, the Philippines sourced 5.97% of its energy from oil-based sources. [7] As of March 2016, there were a total of 212 gas and diesel-powered facilities in the Philippines.
Indonesia has an estimated potential of 29 GW of geothermal energy resources, the largest in the world; in 2017, its installed capacity was 1.8 GW. Geothermal power is considered to be a sustainable, renewable source of energy because the heat extraction is small compared with the Earth's heat content. [7]
