In 2013, renewable energy provided 26.44% of the total electricity in the Philippines and 19,903 gigawatt-hours (GWh) of electrical energy out of a total demand of 75,266 gigawatt-hours. [1] The Philippines is a net importer of fossil fuels. For the sake of energy security, there is momentum to develop renewable energy sources.
Nuclear energy and renewable energy have reduced environmental costs by decreasing CO 2 emissions resulting from energy consumption. [ 42 ] There is a catastrophic risk potential if containment fails, [ 43 ] which in nuclear reactors can be brought about by overheated fuels melting and releasing large quantities of fission products into the ...
Burgos Wind Farm.It is currently the largest wind farm in the Philippines, providing 150MW of power to residents of Burgos, Ilocos Norte. Wind power in the Philippines accounts for a total of 443MW as of 2020 according to the Department of Energy, covering about 1.6% of the country's total installed capacity for both renewable and non-renewable energy sources.

The Philippines being situated on the fringes of the Asia-Pacific monsoon belt, exhibits a promising potential for wind energy with 76.6 GW. [7] Wind power plants are the third most operated renewable energy source in the country. Solar Energy. In 2015, three solar farms were constructed in the Philippines.
Climate change could simultaneously reduce the Philippines' supply of energy and increase its demand for energy. [1] The increased chance of extreme weather events would reduce hydropower production, which accounts for 20% of the country's energy supply, as well as cause widespread damage to energy infrastructure and services.

The Philippines is projected to be one of the most vulnerable countries to the impacts of climate change, [5] which would exacerbate weather extremes. As the Philippines lies on the Pacific Ring of Fire, it is prone to natural disasters, like earthquakes, typhoons, and volcanic eruptions.
The total primary energy consumption of the Philippines in 2012 was 30.2 Mtoe (million Tonnes of oil equivalent), [2] most of which came from fossil fuels.Electricity consumption in 2010 was 64.52 TWh, of which almost two-thirds came from fossil fuels, 21% from hydroelectric plants, and 13% from other renewable sources.
