Title: Potential hydropower estimation for the Mindanao River Basin in the Philippines based on watershed modeling using the soil and water assessment tool.
Author: Ismail Adal Guiamel and Han Soo Lee
Date Published: November 2020
Key Information: This study aims to use the Mindanao River Basin hydropower as an alternative to strengthen the exploration of renewable energy sources and possibly improve the energy situation in Mindanao. Based on the Research paper. Hydropower represents a significant source of energy compared with fossil and nuclear fuels. Small, mini, and micro-scale hydropower all play essential roles in rural electrification, and hydropower has a considerably higher capacity than other renewable energy sources to replace fossil fuels (Okot, 2013). Its global availability, efficient energy conversion, low operating cost, and relatively long life span. (Liu et al., 2013). Promoting Renewable Energy Access in Mindanao focuses on advancing clean energy in the region, mainly through the ECCP's REPH100 initiative. It brings together key stakeholders to discuss renewable energy projects, energy efficiency, and sustainable development goals in the Philippine context, with emphasis on Mindanao. The relevance lies in addressing energy poverty, climate change, and sustainable growth by expanding access to affordable and clean energy, aligning with global climate goals, and improving local energy resilience.
