KEY INFO: Mindanao Development Authority Assistant Secretary Romeo Montenegro said that renewable energy is being pushed in Mindanao.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
DAVAO CITY (MindaNews / 12 January) - More renewable energy sources are expected to be added to the Mindanao grid in the next six years, a move that may equalize the island's current power mix of 70-30 in favor of fossil fuels.

Mindanao Development Authority Assistant Secretary Romeo Montenegro said during "Wednesdays at Habi at Kape" that the island is hoping to see additional supply of about 2,000 megawatts from renewable energy between 2023 and 2028, of which 400 MW are committed applications and 1,600 MW are indicative or in the early stage of the application process.

He said renewable energy is being pushed in Mindanao as the government hopes to reverse the power mix of the island, which is dominated by coal-fed power plants, to comply with the country's obligations under the Paris Agreement.

Montenegro added that no new applications for construction of coal-fired power plants will be approved in Mindanao after the Department of Energy declared in 2020 a moratorium on endorsements for greenfield coal power plants.

The multilateral agreement, which entered into force on November 4, 2016, targets to limit "global warming to well below 2, preferably to 1.5 degrees Celsius, compared to pre-industrial levels" as part of global efforts to combat climate change and adapt to its effects.

Under this agreement, countries "aim to reach global peaking of greenhouse gas emissions as soon as possible to achieve a climate neutral world by mid-century."

The Philippines signed the Paris Agreement on April 23, 2016, and it was ratified by the Senate on March 23, 2017.

Montenegro said the island has a total of 4,000 MW installed capacity, of which between 2,700 and 2,800 MW is available.

He added there are applications for solar, hydro, biomass, and other possible sources of renewable energy on the island.

"If these are implemented, and fully developing power to the grid, that will definitely turn the tide in favor of renewable energy by 2028. However, it's not easy to go through the several challenges," he said.

Montenegro said among the challenges that investors in renewable power encounter are the agreements between the proponents and financial institutions and the available market.

He said the power demand of Mindanao is continuously increasing at the rate of 4 to 7% annually.

"Definitely, we need at least 1,500 MW between now and 2030," he said. (Antonio L. Colina IV/MindaNews)

Even major industries depend on electricity to function and the major cost of goods is also dependent on electricity.

Espina stressed that there is a need to explore other forms of energy, develop a kind of technology to cut the cost and later counter the energy problems.

"In order to be economically stable, we should also ensure the energy and power supply and further bring the energy self-sufficiency and sustainability into the household level," Espina said.
Renewable energy
The power crisis is still prevalent today that is why alternative or other sources of energy should also be explored.

"We still use non-renewable sources of energy including fossil fuel and coal. These are finite sources and the reserves could diminish in 50 to 100 years. Thus, the price of the electricity would be doubled because of the increased demand and limited supply," Espina explained.

Espina also stressed that would be better if these so-called ' dirty technology ' could be totally changed through pushing further research for alternative forms of energy.

"We may explore and generate electricity using solar, wind, hydro, bioenergy (biomass or biogas), and through the human power," Espina said.

As of present, we should conserve the energy and aim to achieve energy self-sufficiency.

Abstract

This paper focused on the importance of renewable energy to Philippine energy security and sustainability agenda. It examined the status of renewable energy in the Philippines and discussed the opportunities and challenges in the further development and deployment of renewable energy. This research relied on secondary data from the Philippine Department of Energy, ASEAN Centre for Energy, World Bank, and APEC Secretariat. Relevant informative journalistic reports were also consulted. Among the major findings are: (1) renewable energy will account for an increasingly significant share of the Philippine energy mix for power generation in the foreseeable future and (2) fossil fuels, oil in particular, however, will remain the dominant energy source. Whether or not the Philippine government will achieve its renewable energy targets largely depends on how efficient and fast it will be in addressing the related issues. This study builds on the existing knowledge base on Philippine renewable energy.
