Energy Resource Guide
The Renewable Energy (RE) Act of 2008 or Republic Act (R.A.) 9513, sets an ambitious national target for expanding renewable energy installed capacity to 15,304 megawatts (MW) by 2030 and will push will push the percent share of the RE sector close to 35% in the country''s energy generation mix.
Philippines
The Philippine government envisions the Philippines will increase its renewable energy (RE) share in supply mix to 35% by 2030 and 50% by 2050, promote energy efficiency and conservation, and pursue emerging technologies to achieve energy security. and there are not any penalties or disincentives in place for utilizing different types of
Why renewable energy has the potential to power the Philippines
The Philippines is facing the threat of an energy crisis. With one of the nation''s sources of natural gas – responsible for powering a third of Luzon, the country''s largest island and home to more than half (57 per cent) of its total population of more than 110 million people – estimated to run dry by 2027, the pressure is on the archipelagic nation to shift its reliance to

Application of renewable energy sources and new building
The Philippine residential sector consumes a large percentage of the country''s generated electricity, and the price of electricity there is one of the highest in Asia. With a government program in renewable energy utilization and energy efficiency, the development of energy efficient houses is important. This paper presents a numerical investigation on how to
Renewable energy storage systems to power the future
According to Friends of the Earth, the future is in sight for almost all electricity to be sourced from climate-friendly energy sources like the sun, wind, and waves. In the UK, which led the move to industrialisation in the 18th century through the age of steam and factories, renewable energy has increased 10-fold since 2004.
