What is the source of electricity in Philippines?

Answer 1

The Philippines' total consumption is dependent upon traditional hydrocarbon sources of energy. Oil consumption, at 53 percent, accounted for the majority of the Philippines' final energy consumption mix in 2005, followed by coal at 19 percent. Renewable energy sources comprised 15 percent of consumption, followed by natural gas and hydroelectric consumption at 7 percent and 6 percent, respectively. The updated Philippine Energy Plan of 2005, which is a major reform agenda of the Arroyo Administration, is designed to move towards energy independence by first attaining a level of 60 percent self-sufficiency by 2010. The plan indicates that between 2005 and 2014, the economy's final energy demand will grow at 4.7 percent per year. To help meet growth in demand, part of the strategy is to increase the country's oil and gas reserves by about 20 percent and to reduce coal imports by 20 percent. The development of biofuels, as mandated under the Biofuel Act of 2006, will also contribute to the energy mix needed to eventually meet the goal of self-sufficiency

Answer 2

It's true that one of the current energy problems in the country today is insufficient supply. This is especially true in the provinces where low voltage and frequent brown outs is a common problem. As we all know investments have spread to the provinces and the demand for electricity now is much, much higher than it was a decade ago. So, to accommodate the load growth in the provinces the department of energy thru the national transmission corporation and national power corporation are undertaking projects to address this issue. Now the price per kilowatt would go up because of rising oil world wide. bY MARK
