COUNTRY PAGE - PHILIPPINES

Philippines is an archipelagic country in Southeast Asia that is made up of more than 7,000 islands. Its major island groups are categorized into three parts: Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao. The country follows a constitutional republic. The growing energy demand across the Philippines poses challenges to the energy transition and has resulted in increasing the dependency on imported fossil fuels. There is the potential with some of the policies already in place to bring renewables to the forefront, however, transformations have been delayed. Thus, no formal net-zero targets have been set for the Philippines as of  yet 

POWER SECTOR SNAPSHOT

The power sector in the Philippines is dominated by coal, which is responsible for almost 60% of power generation. Together with its second largest power source — natural gas (18%) — and oil (1.5%), fossil fuels make up more than three quarters of the Philippines’ power supply. Established renewable energy sources such as geothermal (10%) and hydro (9%) also generated a relevant share of the country’s electricity in 2021. The shares of solar and wind power are increasing but are still small at 1.4% and 1.2% respectively.

Three-quarters of electricity consumption is distributed across the three main demand sectors: households (33%), industry sector (26%) and services (20%).
