International Action Programme
Doubling the Generating Capacity from Renewable Energy Sources by 2013
| Leading Actor(s) |
Philippines / Department of Energy |
| Participating Actor(s) |
Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), Legislative Branch, Local Government Units (LGUs), National Transmission Corporation (TransCo), Electric Cooperatives and Distribution Utilities, donor agencies, funding institutions (e.g. multi-lateral and bilateral funding agencies), private sector investors |
| Main objective(s) |
To increase renewable energy-based capacity by 100% by 2013, increase efficiency and substantially contribute to the protection of the environment and contribute to the economic growth of the countryside through rural electrification. |
| Contents |
- Preference to the development and utilisation of RE over hydrocarbons, encourage the use of RE for rural development and off-grid electrification, endorse RE projects as 'priority' for availment of special tax privileges, and prioritise RE for endorsement for bilateral and multilateral financing;
- Promote wide-scale power and non-power use of RE as a cleaner energy choice, introduce market-based incentives / financing schemes, and pursue both national and international cooperation programme on RE technology transfer.
|
| Expected results |
- Double installation of generating capacity from renewable energy sources to approximately 4,700 MW, enabling the Philippines to be the largest geothermal energy producer in the world, the leading wind energy producer in Southeast Asia and to double its hydro capacity by 2013
- To become a regional solar cell manufacturing export hub within ASEAN region, and to increase the non-power contribution of renewable energy to the energy mix.
|
| Target area / place |
Philippines |
| Arrangement(s) for financing |
- The Government will continue to promote private sector participation in the development of renewable energy in the country. RE investments in the amount of PHP 295,28 billion and PHP 106,01 billion for rural electrification and energy efficiency programmes shall be offered for consideration by the private sector.
- Government shall undertake financing for investments promotion through RE Trade Mission, holding of business meetings and other fora, and the preparation and development of RE Investment Kits.
