Introduction In the Philippines, the concept of Net-Metering was introduced in the Renewable Energy Act of 2008 (RA 9513). The Net-Metering Program is a non-fiscal strategy to promote
As Cebu accelerates its transition to renewable energy, demand for efficient energy storage systems has skyrocketed. This article explores how cutting-edge battery technology addresses
CEBU, Philippines — Cebu''s energy sector received a significant push following the launch of Aboitiz Power''s P1.2 billion, 30-megawatt hybrid Battery Energy Storage System
The Cebu Energy Storage Photovoltaic Project, specifically the Daanbantayan Solar Power Plant, is a significant renewable energy initiative in the Philippines. Here are key details:The project
Why are solar energy storage systems soaring in the Philippines? Investment in and deployment of distributed solar photovoltaic (PV) energy-battery energy storage systems is soaring in the
Storage: If you don''t use all the energy, it''s stored in batteries for later. Usage: You use the energy to power appliances, lights, and other needs. Benefits of DER for Filipinos

These are just some challenges that have prompted the Philippines to start exploring distributed energy system (DES) as a viable option to satisfy immediate electricity demands.
The introduction of generating power in the form of distributed generation can provide an enhanced energy security. The Philippine DOE estimated that 3.18% of the country’s overall power generation in 2015 came from embedded generation in on-grid areas and economic zones (Table 5.2).
The abundance of this cleaner set of renewable sources in the off-grid areas allow for the immediate application of DES to secure the electricity supply of remote communities. The Philippine energy sector is open for business.
Source: Philippine DOE (2015a). As mentioned above, the country does not have a holistic policy that captures embedded generation. A well-defined treatment of embedded generation in the power market system is needed. DOE should consider self-generation as an effective energy solution that will be substantial and easy to implement in the future.
