The COVID-19 pandemic has uncovered serious weaknesses in the Philippines' power market. It has led to inflexibility, price instability and trade imbalances. However, the nation is reevaluating its renewable energy market to benefit from new technologies.
Among the reforms for the power sector recently suggested by the Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis (IEEFA) were grid modernization, green-energy tariffs, digitizing, and more short-term liquidity for electric cooperatives (ECs) and small-scale renewable energy developers.
Among the top renewable energy players in the Philippines are San Jose I-Power Corporation, with five operational biomass power plants totaling 54 megawatts (MW) of output; Solar Philippines Tarlac Corporation, with 100 MW and several possible expansions; Hydro San Miguel Corporation, with 246 MW; CBK Power Company Limited, with 796 MW of operational hydro power plants; San Roque Hydro Power Corporation, with 411 MW; SN Aboitiz Power-Magat Incorporated, with 475 MW; Wind Energy Development Corporation, with 150 MW; Northern Luzon Renewable Energy Corporation, with 81 MW; and Geothermal Energy Development Corporation, with 12 operational plants with a combined capacity of 1,185.23 MW.
Industrial Info is tracking more than $10.4 billion worth of renewable-energy projects that are set to begin construction in the Philippines before the end of 2021. Click here for a list, and see graph below for a breakdown by fuel type.
