The activity is part of the “Microgridterprises in Geographically Isolated and Disadvantaged Areas through Community Empowerment through Science and Technology ” project which aims to enhance knowledge and strategies for implementing sustainable energy solutions that will significantly benefit local communities in the Region.
“The knowledge gained from these visits is invaluable as the project is in the early phase of developing renewable energy technologies. Learning from successful projects like those in Palawan will help implement effective and sustainable renewable energy solutions in the target communities,” she added.
The second visit was to the Sabang Renewable Energy Corporation in Puerto Princesa. SREC operates the first government-approved hybrid power plant in the area, reducing diesel consumption and generating savings on rural electrification. Engr. Francis Glenn Ramos, the Plant Manager, presented information about the solar power plant initiatives in Barangay Cabayugan, which serves over 600 households.
“Certifications and compliance measures are vital for guaranteeing the effective and efficient delivery of services to the community,” Ramos said.
