solar diesel hybrid storage project financing options in Philippines 2030

Can a hybrid energy system be used outside the Philippines?

Outside the Philippines, hybrid energy systems have already been tested in several environments and have allowed for stable power supply – e.g. the Pacific island nation of Tokelau implemented a hybrid energy system allowing for 100% renewable energy supply .

Can a small island grid shift diesel generation to solar photovoltaics-battery-diesel hybrid systems?

In this comprehensive analysis of small island grids in the Philippines, results show that there is a huge economic potential to shift the diesel generation to solar photovoltaics-battery-diesel hybrid systems, with an average cost reduction of around 20% of the levelized cost of electricity.

How to encourage sustainable and green project financing in the Philippines?

Last year, the central bank of the Philippines, the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP), proposed the introduction of new incentives to encourage sustainable and green project financing in the country. However, legislation needs to be passed establishing specific banking guidelines, criteria and benchmarks for renewable energy project financing.

Can small island energy systems transition from diesel power plants to hybrid?

Small island energy systems have an enormous potential to transition from using Diesel Power Plants (DPPs) to hybrid energy systems. Diesel-powered island grids are generally operated at low efficiencies and suffer from fluctuating fuel prices, which result in high power generation costs and eventually blackouts due to shortages.

How much does hybridization cost in the Philippines?

Hybridization of the islands avoids the importation of approximately 92 million liters of diesel per year. At a diesel price of 0.9 USD/L, this corresponds to a diesel importation cost of 82 million USD (4.3 billion PhP) annually.

Is hybridization feasible in Luzon?

hybridization is feasible is around 50.4% across all surveyed islands grids. The lowest Luzon. Even at the latter’s electricity cost, this still represents a reduction of 8.4% of the electricity cost. It should be emphasized that there are 53 existing DPP-based grids with investment cost.
