In 2013, renewable energy provided 26.44% of the total electricity in the Philippines and 19,903 gigawatt-hours (GWh) of electrical energy out of a total demand of 75,266 gigawatt-hours. [1] The Philippines is a net importer of fossil fuels. For the sake of energy security, there is momentum to develop renewable energy sources.
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]
The Philippines being situated on the fringes of the Asia-Pacific monsoon belt, exhibits a promising potential for wind energy with 76.6 GW. [7] Wind power plants are the third most operated renewable energy source in the country. Solar Energy. In 2015, three solar farms were constructed in the Philippines.
[1] [9] Commonwealth Act No. 120 of 1936 created the National Power Corporation, [10] and was amended several times through 1967. [1] [11] A subsequent law, Republic Act 9513, known as the Renewable Energy Law, which encourages the development and use of non-traditional energy sources, has since come into being. [12]
The total primary energy consumption of the Philippines in 2012 was 30.2 Mtoe (million Tonnes of oil equivalent), [2] most of which came from fossil fuels.Electricity consumption in 2010 was 64.52 TWh, of which almost two-thirds came from fossil fuels, 21% from hydroelectric plants, and 13% from other renewable sources.
