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.
Vietnam utilizes four main sources of renewable energy: hydroelectricity, wind power, solar power and biomass. [1] At the end of 2018, hydropower was the largest source of renewable energy, contributing about 40% to the total national electricity capacity. [2]
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.
