Philippines’ Aboitiz Power unit awards contract to develop 17MW geothermal power plant

The plant will be developed in Tiwi, Albay province. 

Aboitiz Power Corporation subsidiary, AP Renewables Inc. (APRI), has signed engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) agreements for its 17-megawatt binary geothermal power plant. 

The EPC contracts were awarded to Ormat Technologies, Inc., and Desco, Inc. The project will be developed in Tiwi, Albay province in the Philippines. 

"We are glad to move this project forward with partners we already know and trust. This collaboration will reinforce our commitment to providing much-needed Cleanergy to the grid," APRI President and Chief Operating Officer (COO) Jeffrey Estrella said.

This is expected to expand the company’s Cleanergy portfolio. Cleanergy is Aboitiz Power’s renewable energy solutions brand. 

The APRI and its partners plan to break ground in the first quarter of 2023. The plant will utilise excess heat from spent brine at the Tiwi geothermal facility. 

AboitizPower is planning to spend around P190b over the next decade for an additional 3,700MW of renewable energy, growing its capacities to 4,600 MW by 2030. 

The company has around 1,000MW of disclosed RE projects and is on its way toward its targets.

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.
