Renewable energy is defined as energy generated from naturally existing resources like sunlight, wind, water, and biomass. Stopping global warming, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and transitioning to a low-carbon, sustainable future all depend on it. It helps reduce dependency on finite supplies of fossil fuels, which are expensive and bad for the environment. By employing renewable resources, nations may increase energy security and promote self-sufficiency in meeting their energy needs.
Philippines Renewable Energy Market Driving Factors and Challenges
Drivers: Green energy solutions are necessary since people's awareness of pollution and climate change is growing. People are searching for greener and renewable energy sources since they are more aware of how much energy they use. In light of this, using renewable energy sources could help reduce the negative effects of climate change on people, businesses, and even nations. Another significant reason why so many nations are embracing renewable energy sources is energy security. To meet the energy needs of their populations, countries are attempting to diversify their energy supplies and lessen their reliance on oil imports. Since renewable energy sources are typically distributed, it is simpler to guarantee energy delivery against disruptions brought on by natural disasters, unstable political environments.
Challenges: A big challenge to entry for businesses wishing to enter the industry may be the high capital expenditures connected with renewable energy projects. For certain businesses, the expenses associated with setting up renewable energy infrastructure, such solar panels or wind turbines, can be unaffordable. The development of offshore wind farms can be highly costly due to the high cost of erecting wind turbines and transmission equipment in deep ocean sites, which can often surpass the cost of onshore wind farms. The market for renewable energy may not expand as quickly as it could due to the shortcomings of the current grid infrastructure. Since they are only available at specific times of the day or year, many renewable energy sources are intermittent.
Impact of COVID-19 on Philippines Renewable Energy Market
The COVID-19 pandemic has presented the Philippines' renewable energy sector with both challenges and opportunity. Initially, supply chain disruptions and delays in project development resulted from the pandemic's restrictions on international travel and trade. Consequently, there was a delay in the installation of renewable energy projects and an increase in the costs of materials and equipment. But the pandemic highlighted the need for energy resilience and sustainability, which increased interest in renewable energy as a means of ensuring a consistent and reliable energy supply in times of crisis.
