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.
Nellis Solar Power Plant in the United States, the largest photovoltaic power plant in North America. Solar energy is the radiant energy from the Sun's light and heat, which can be harnessed using a range of technologies such as solar electricity, solar thermal energy (including solar water heating) and solar architecture.
The economic gains of renewable energy usage in the Philippines have not benefited the rural poor either, who are paying much more for electricity than urban users. In response, the national government enacted the Renewable Energy Act in 2008 to prioritize the use of renewable energy and to provide investment incentives for the private sector.
