TITLE: Why Mindanao is key to the clean energy future of the Philippines

AUTHOR: Phillipine Donggay

DATE: September 29, 2021

KEY INFO: The author grew up in the energy industry in the 80s in Mindanao and understands the importance of electricity. Despite this, four decades later, not everyone in the Philippines has access to electricity, with Mindanao having the lowest number of homes with access to modern energy services. However, the author sees this as an opportunity for quick scaling up of rural electrification. She is a co-founder of Greenergy Solar PH and they have launched the first commercial solar service provider in Mindanao. It helped indigenous communities have access to clean and sustainable power from solar energy. She mentions that this shows how the technology is accepted and the people are ready to embrace this which is why Mindanao can be the start of achieving clean energy for the country.

TITLE: A long road for renewable energy in Mindanao

AUTHOR: Reuel John F. Lumawag

DATE PUBLISHED: October 24, 2021

KEY INFO: Mindanao has undergone significant changes in its energy landscape. Historically, it was powered mainly by hydropower plants, but as the island's economy grew, so did its power demand, leading to a crisis from 2013 to 2014. Currently, the island's power mix consists of coal energy generating power for 51%(2,263 MW) of the region, followed by hydroelectric power for 26% (1,158.17 MW), oil-based power (771.20 MW) at 17%, geothermal energy for 2% (104.48 MW), solar energy at 2% (79.98 MW), and biomass for 2% (66.30 MW). Furthermore, there is now a push towards a more sustainable energy mix, with the government aiming for a 50-50 split between renewable and non-renewable energy sources by 2030. Mindanao has a growing annual power demand, offering opportunities for power investors, especially in the renewable energy sector.
