1.

Nuclear Power - The Bataan Nuclear Power

Plant, located in Bataan Province to the west of the capital Manila, is the only such
facility in Southeast Asia. The decision to build the plant was made in 1976 by the
authoritarian government of then President Ferdinand Marcos.

2. Biomass/Bio fuel - Majority is located

in Negros Island which provides about 46% of the country's annual sugar production.
The Philippines has the largest number of coconut trees in the world as it produces most
of the world market for coconut oil and copra meal.
3. Hydropower - Construction is underway
at two large dams as part of the Wawa pumped-storage project in the province of Rizal. The
upper reservoir in Mount Purro, with a storage capacity of 6.2 x 106 m3, will be impounded by
an 84 m-high RCC dam, with four saddle dams. The lower reservoir will be impounded by a 47
m-high dam, with a storage volume of 9.7 x 106 m3. Late last year, the Department of Energy
reported that it is evaluating several large-scale power projects that could receive certification
as being energy projects of national significance under Executive Order 30 that streamlines the
procedures for major projects.

4. Geothermal - The Philippines is one of

the world's top producers of geothermal power, owing to its location along the Ring of Fire zone
of Pacific volcanoes. The country commissioned the 12-megawatt Maibarara Geothermal Power
Plant-2 on March 9, 2018, in Santo Tomas, Batangas. The Geothermal Education Office and a
1980 article titled "The Philippines geothermal success story" by Rudolph J. Birsic published in
the journal Geothermal Energy note the remarkable geothermal resources of the Philippines.
During the World Geothermal Congress 2000 held in Beppu, Ōita Prefecture of Japan held from
May to June 2000, it was reported that the Philippines is the largest consumer of electricity from
geothermal sources and highlighted the potential role of geothermal energy in providing energy
needs for developing countries. According to the International Geothermal Association (IGA),
worldwide, the Philippines ranks second to the United States in producing geothermal energy.
As of 2010, the US had a capacity of 3093 megawatts of geothermal power, while that of the
Philippines was 1904 megawatts. The Philippines was followed by Mexico with 958 MW. Early
statistics from the Institute for Green Resources and Environment stated that Philippine
geothermal energy provides 16% of the country's electricity. By 2005, geothermal energy
accounted for 17.5% of the country's electricity production. More recent statistics from the IGA
show that combined energy from the nation's six geothermal fields, located in the islands of
Luzon, Leyte, Negros and Mindanao, still accounts for approximately 17% of the country's
electricity generation. Leyte island is where the first geothermal power plant, a 3-megawatt
wellhead unit, started operations in July 1977. Larger-scale commercial production of
geothermal power began in 1979 with the commissioning of a 110-megawatt plant at Tiwi field
in Albay province. IGA figures as of December 2009 show the nation's installed geothermal
capacity stands at 1904 megawatts, with gross generation of 10,311 gigawatt-hrs. for all of 2009,
representing 17% of the nation's total power generation mix. Most of it are located in Sorsogon,
Leyte and many more.
