Philippines expects over 4,000 MW of power projects to begin operations this year

These projects include both conventional and renewable energy.

The Philippines is anticipating to see at least 4,164.92 megawatts (MW) of power projects to start operations this year, supporting the country’s power supply and grid stability.

In a statement, the Department of Energy said 161.2 MW of these projects have already reached full commercial operations, whilst 835.89 MW are under testing in the commissioning stage.

The power projects comprise both renewable and conventional sources. These include the 600 MW Mariveles Coal-Fired Power Plant where Unit 1 was already been commissioned last month while the remaining units are under testing and will start operations by the third quarter.

Global clean energy tech market to hit $2t by 2035

This is fuelled by investments as countries aim to enhance energy security.The global clean energy technology market is projected to grow from $700b in 2023 to over $2t by 2035, nearing the scale of the crude oil market, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA).This growth is fuelled by significant investments in clean technology manufacturing as countries aim to enhance energy security, maintain economic competitiveness, and cut emissions. Investment is concentrated in regions with established positions in clean energy, particularly China, the European Union, the UK, and increasingly, India.Whilst the US, EU, and India have taken measures to support their clean energy sectors, China is expected to remain the world's manufacturing hub. By 2035, China's clean technology exports are forecasted to exceed $340b—comparable to projected oil export revenues from Saudi Arabia and the UAE.Southeast Asia, Latin America, and Africa contribute less than 5% of global cleantech production value, yet the IEA suggests that these areas still hold opportunities within the clean energy economy. Developing economies, for instance, could leverage competitive advantages to advance in the value chain beyond resource extraction.The IEA said Southeast Asia could become one of the most cost-effective regions for producing polysilicon and wafers for solar panels over the next decade.
