Solar, Wind to lead renewables growth in the Philippines

The non-hydropower renewables are expected to grow by 6.8GW.

The solar and wind sector will lead the growth of renewable energy in the Philippines in the next ten years, Fitch Solutions reported.

Between 2022 and 2031, the country’s non-hydropower renewable source is expected to grow by 6.8 gigawatts, or at an average rate of 10.4% annually. This is more than the projected 5.8GW increase in thermal power.

The report noted that solar power will account for about86% of the net non-hydropower renewable capacity growth, whilst some 10% will be contributed by onshore wind power.

This growth is largely supported by the Philippine government’s goal to increase renewable electricity’s share in its power mix by 35% and to grow its renewable capacity by 15.3GW by 2030.

“Within our Key Projects Database, there are already 127 non-hydropower renewable power projects in development, totaling 21.4GW in capacity, 78 of which are solar PV projects,” the report read in part.

Just last June, the Philippines’ energy department launched its first round of renewable project tenders with a total of 2GW.

“We expect more such tenders to be launched whilst increasing demand for renewable power projects is signalled by interest from the domestic and international private sectors.”

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.
