The Philippines is facing an energy crisis, and solar micro-grids are a part of the mix of solutions needed to supply our nation’s power. “In the Philippines, almost 1.3 million households could face power outages in 2023 due to a lack of funding from the National Power Corporation,” Energy Tracker Asia reports.

The consortium will develop microgrids in eight unserved areas in the Cebu, Quezon and Palawan areas. The hybrid microgrid systems, which are expected to include solar, energy storage and diesel generators, must provide 24/7 electricity to the areas served.
Microgrids are particularly suited to the Philippines. They can be installed in multiple configurations depending on the need, including as the power source for an island. The Philippines is composed of 7,640 islands, and traditional power grids are not practical in many of the communities living on our islands.
These microgrid systems, comprising solar photovoltaic panels, energy storage systems, and diesel gensets, will provide 24/7 electricity services to the designated areas within 18 months of the Consortium’s execution of the Microgrid Systems Service Contract (MSC) with the National Power Corporation (NPC).
A solar microgrid is a small, freestanding network of electrical loads, energy storage batteries, and photovoltaic systems. Usually, it is connected to a macro grid (centralized grid), but it can also function independently. Solar microgrids provide a handful of benefits besides the provision of clean energy.
