Philippines to launch auction for 4,399 MW RE projects

The third round of the Green Energy Auction will be held in August 2024.

The Department of Energy (DOE) will be conducting the Third Round of the Green Energy Auction (GEA-3) in August 2024 for hydropower and geothermal projects with a total capacity of 4,399 megawatts (MW).

The GEA-3 project has been intended for Non-Feed-In-Tariff (Non-FIT) eligible RE technologies, such as geothermal, impounding hydro, and pumped-storage hydro, as well as run-of-river (ROR) Hydro – a FIT-Eligible RE technology.

The projected capacities for Non-FIT Eligible RE Technologies are 699 MW from impounding hydro, 3,120 MW from pumped-storage hydro, and 380 MW from geothermal. The target Delivery Commencement Period (DCP) for impounding hydro and pumped-storage hydro is estimated to be from 2028 to 2030. For geothermal, the DCP is scheduled from 2024 to 2030.

An estimated 200 MW of RE capacity from ROR Hydro is scheduled to be auctioned, with an intended target DCP from 2026 to 2028.

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.
