If ever current renewable energy generation project proposals will be approve and pursue then expect changes not just on the current supply of electricity but also on the landscapes of project locations. For sure solar and wind farm will attract tourists both young and old alike.
The largest renewable energy proposal is Pan Pacific Renewable Power Phils. Corp.’s 600-MW hydroelectric power project in Apayao (Apayao-Abulug River) followed by CoastalPower Development Corp.’s 420-MW wind farm in Sorsogon (Prieto - Diaz Wind Farm); Jobin-Sqm Inc.’s 100-MW solar project in Zambales; Eoil and Gas Co. Inc.’s 60-MW project in South Cotabato for geothermal; and Green Power Bukidnon Philippines Inc.’s 35-MW biomass project in Maramag, Bukidnon.
The Department of Energy (DOE) also received 30 new proposals for renewable energy (RE) projects with an aggregate capacity of almost 6,000 megawatts (MW), more than half of which are hydropower with 3,593 MW. The other green power proposals are: 1,431 MW for wind; 537 MW for solar; 230 MW for geothermal; and 195 MW for biomass.
This proposals shows that the Renewable Act of 2008 really helps in advancing the renewable energy sources program in the Philippines.
