    Study Notes

    Energy Sources in the Philippines

    • The Philippines relies on a mix of energy sources, including imported oil, coal, and renewable energy sources.
    • Imported oil accounted for 34% of the Philippines' total primary energy supply in 2021.
    • The target for renewable energy in the Philippines' power generating mix is 35% by 2040.

    Installed Capacity and Energy Grid

    • As of 2022, coal has the highest installed capacity in the Philippines.
    • The Luzon grid serves about 70% of the population in the Philippines.

    Malampaya Gas Fields

    • The Malampaya gas fields, which supply 30% of Luzon's energy needs, are expected to be depleted by 2027.

    Energy Shortages

    • One of the major factors causing energy shortages in the Philippines is the high dependence on imported oil and coal.
    • The Philippines does not rely solely on imported oil and coal for its energy needs, as it also has renewable energy sources.

    Historical Context

    • The Philippines has not faced energy shortages since becoming independent in 1946, implying that energy shortages are a recent phenomenon.
    • The COVID-19 pandemic had an impact on the power demand in the Philippines in 2020, likely due to reduced economic activity.

    Energy Concepts

    • Examples of primary energy sources include oil, coal, and natural gas.
    • The main characteristic of renewable energy sources is that they are sustainable and can be replenished naturally.
    • Measuring energy in the four main ways (primary, secondary, final, and useful) helps to track energy flow and identify areas of inefficiency.

    Renewable Energy in the Philippines

    • The Philippines has an abundant supply of geothermal energy due to its location along the Pacific Ring of Fire.
    • Biomass energy, which uses organic materials like agricultural residues and wood to generate electricity, is another renewable energy source in the Philippines.
    • Natural gas is considered a cleaner non-renewable energy source in the Philippines compared to coal.

    Pre-Industrial Era

    • During the pre-industrial era, energy sources commonly used included wood, charcoal, and human and animal power.

    Angat Dam and Hydroelectric Power Plant

    • The primary energy supply in the Philippines is sourced from various sources, including the Angat Dam, which supplies a significant amount of water to the area and generates electricity.
    • The Angat Hydroelectric Power Plant (AHEPP) has a capacity of 218 MW of electricity.
    • The Angat Dam is located in Norzagaray, Bulacan.
    • Water leaks and illegal connections can affect the electricity generation capacity of AHEPP, and addressing these problems is crucial for sustainable water and power management.
    • If water leaks and illegal connections are not addressed, they can contribute to the country's energy shortage crisis.
