More private sector investments in geothermal energy urged
‘The bottomline here is that we are confident that RE development in the Philippines is accelerating and that we will meet our targets. But we cannot do it alone.’
THE Department of Energy is urging private sector investments in geothermal energy. Currently, there are 145 geothermal areas in the country but only seven fields including the one in Tiwi, Albay shown in the photo, are in operation. ‘We want these potential capacities to be developed and we need your support to further explore the potential of geothermal energy in the country,’ DoE Undersecretary Rowena Guevara told private sector participants in a recent energy forum. | PNA
