Philippines: The Philippines Energy Plan (PEP)

The Philippines Department of Energy has identified long-term goals for RE development, namely: (i) increase RE-based capacity by 100 percent by 2013; and (ii) increase non-power contribution of RE to the energy mix by 10 MMBFOE in the next years 2003-2012. In support of these general goals, the government shall aim to (i) be the number one geothermal energy producer in the world; (ii) be the number one wind energy producer in Southeast Asia; (iii) double hydro capacity by 2013; and (iv) expand contribution of biomass, solar and ocean energy by about 131 MW. These goals serve as concrete benchmarks for government to advance its vision of a sustainable energy system with RE taking a prominent role in the process.
