Renewable energy obtains top priority to offset climate change

The drive to reduce global carbon emissions and air pollution is getting the full backing of the Marcos administration.

“As the global population continues to grow with climate change upon us, the world rushes towards finding cleaner and more efficient alternative sources of energy. Global trends project an aggressive demand and accessibility for renewable energies in the next decade. Ostensibly, harnessing renewable energy sources is critical to our future,” said Energy Undersecretary Rowena Cristina Guevara.

She said DOE would auction the generation of 11,610 megawatts of electricity under the Green Energy Auction Program 2 for the 2024 to 2026 supply period by June. She said DOE would include in the terms of reference the list of areas and corresponding capacity of transmission that is already available.

Meanwhile, Guevara said DOE would issue a circular defining the procedures and requirements for awarding offshore wind service contracts following the publication of the “Philippine Offshore Wind Roadmap.”
