Department of Energy: Greening the Grid Program

Country :

Philippines

Year :

2023

Status :

Implemented

The Republic of the Philippines is home to abundant solar, wind, and other renewable energy (RE) resources that contribute to the national government’s vision to ensure sustainable, secure, sufficient, accessible, and affordable energy. Because solar and wind energy increase variability and uncertainty in the power system, significant generation from these resources necessitates an evolution in power system planning and operation. To support Philippine power sector planners in evaluating the impacts and opportunities associated with achieving high levels of variable RE penetration, the Department of Energy of the Philippines (DOE) and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) have spearheaded this study, which seeks to characterize the operational impacts of reaching high solar and wind targets in the Philippine power system, with a specific focus on the integrated Luzon-Visayas grids.
