Albay is ambitiously charting a path to become one of the Philippines’ renewable energy hubs by 2030 with its creation of a technical working group tasked to develop plans towards achieving this goal.
Frequent power outages have plagued Albayanos, disrupting daily life and economic activities, despite the best efforts of Albay Electric Cooperative Inc. —the lone electricity provider in the province. Onrubia noted that they have already identified promising sites to generate wind energy in the towns of Rapu-Rapu, Camalig, Pio Duran, parts of Polangui, Guinobatan and San Miguel Island in Tabaco City. He said these areas could potentially harness up to 10 gigawatts of electricity.
The TWG’s responsibilities include scoping and mapping Albay’s renewable energy sources. It is reportedly on track to finalize the Renewable Energy Road Map and the Albay Green Energy Road Map by July 2024.
