THE Philippines is one of the most vulnerable countries to natural disasters and the pernicious impact of climate change. Name a natural disaster, and the Philippines has experienced it for sure. Aside from this, being an archipelago, many island communities are isolated from the grid. Resiliency, therefore, is an imperative.
In energy security, microgrids have emerged as a viable solution. With its archipelagic geography, frequent typhoons and growing energy demands, the Philippines faces unique challenges that make traditional energy infrastructure both expensive and vulnerable.
Microgrids can harness this renewable resource to power homes, businesses, and even entire villages. By generating energy locally, microgrids can reduce transmission losses, making the energy system more efficient and sustainable.In my realization of our philanthropic projects at Solar Energy Foundation, a nonprofit providing solar power to off-grid communities, microgrids can be designed to cater to local needs.
