Renewable Energy Spots in the Philippines

????
The Philippines as a tropical archipelago has the potential to generate a lot of energy from
natural resources. In recent years, solar panels in the Philippineshave come to the forefront
in cost efficiency with regular consumers. In truth, the Philippines has been generating
energy from renewable resources for a long while now. It has only been in recent history
that more and more of the Filipino people are recognizing the benefits of renewable
energies as an alternative to oil and carbon. Listed below are the renewable energies found
in the Philippines, as well as the geographic location of the power plants where they can be
found.

Hydroelectric Power
Moving water is a powerful source of energy. The power harnessed from moving bodies of
water is called hydroelectric power. The Philippines make use of two methods in order to
harness power; dam storage or impoundment, and run-of-river. While impoundment makes
use of man-made dams in order to store water, run-of-river relies on flowing bodies of water
like waterfalls. Both methods turn a turbine in order to generate power. Hydroelectric
power plants in the Philippines are located in Pangasinan, Benguet, Laguna, Isabela,
Bulacan, Nueva Ecija, Ilocos Sur, Bohol, Lanao del Sur, Lanao del Norte, Bukidnon, Davao
del Sur, and Misamis Oriental.

Geothermal Power
Geothermal energy comes from the heat beneath the Earth’s surface. There are two
methods of extracting geothermal energy used in the Philippines: the flash steam and the
binary cycle. Geothermal energy extracted through flash steaming extracts water with a
temperature greater than 182 °C using steam pipes. The steam is used to power turbines
that generate energy, while the remaining water is released back into the ground. The
binary process extracts water at a lower temperature than flash steaming. The extracted
water is then used to boil a working liquid with a lower boiling point that will power the
turbine. The water is also released back into the ground. Geothermal plants in the
Philippines are located in Laguna, Sorsogon, Albay, Batangas, Negros Occidental, Leyte,
and North Cotabato.
Solar Power
Solar energy is used as a source of energy in the Philippines through industrial sized
photovoltaic plants in the country. The Philippines has only recently incorporated large
scale solar farms in the country, despite the fact that the country is geographically located in
a region that receives a high amount of sunlight each year. Major solar farms in the
Philippines can be found in Cavite, Pampanga, Ilocos Norte, and Cagayan de Oro.

Wind Energy
Like water, moving air also generates energy through wind turbines that supply kinetic
energy through mechanical power. The turbines then power a generator to produce
energy. Wind power plants in the Philippines are located in Ilocos Norte, Rizal, Guimaras,
and Aklan.

Biomass Energy
Biomass energy is similar to fossil fuel in that it is combusted in order to boil water to
produce steam that will drive a generator. Being an agricultural country, the Philippines is
rich in natural resources like bagasse, rice husks, and coconut husks are used instead of
fossil fuel. Biomass power plants in the Philippines are located in Isabela, Nueva Ecija,
Rizal, Laguna, Isabela, and Metro 31Manila.

The Philippines has plenty of sources for generating energy through the renewable energy
plants spread out in the country. At present, there have been an increased number of
consumers incorporating the use of solar panels in the Philippines. This rise in awareness
has sparked the Filipino community to recognize the many benefits of having clean energies
powering our homes and businesses.
