Finding Our Place in the Sun : Ways to Achieving the Solar Installation Target in the Philippines
Clean Energy Forum, ADB, June 17, 2015
Philippine Population2012 : 92 million2050 : 153 million
Gross Domestic Product2012- 2020 : 8.4 percent2020-2030 : 7.3 percent
Energy Consumptionin kg of oil equivalent per year2003 : 1,524 kg,oe2011 : 1,778 kg,oe
Cost of Electricity US$.26/kwh
Philippines Is Growing & Moving Fast..
Keeping the Mix : Government Initiatives At A Glance
2008 - Renewable Energy Law Enacted by Parliament;
2011 - Implementing Rules Passed; National Renewable Energy Board was created; National Renewable Energy Plan was Approved;
2012 - 50Mw Solar Target was Put in Place;2013 - Feed-In Tariff was Passed, Php9.68/kwh;
Net Metering was Approved;
2013 : The Sun Started to Come…
5kw, Bank of Philippine Island 38kw, Makati Medical Hospital
78kw International School 40kw,Toyota Showroom
2014 : Solar Rising!
40Mw, Solar Rooftop FiT Program, Cavite
22Mw, Ground-Mounted Solar FiT Program, Negros Occidental
The Present LandscapeIncreased Installation, 500Mw

Service Contract – refers to an exclusive area assigned to RE Developer for exploration, development and utilization of solar resources in accordance to the provisions of the contract.
Certificate of Commerciality – refers to the declaration of the RE Developer , with government confirmation, that the Solar Energy Project is commercially viable based on legal considerations, as well as insofar technical and financial studies.Feed-In Tariff – refers to the government approved rate paid to Developer if power plant is 80 percent completed by March 2016. Php8.69/kwh
Sunshine on My Shoulders : Challenges to Commerciality
Tedious Permitting Steps Too Many Agencies (7) and Offices (11) Involved; (Environment, Housing, Local Govt, Indigenous People, Trade and Industry, Finance, Agrarian Reform and Agriculture.)
Long Conversion ProcessConverting Agriculture to Industry takes 9 to 12 months!
Rigorous Interconnection Approval Few SIS Preparer; Slow Data Sharing; Weak Grid outside Metro Manila.
High Risk to Equity Funders and LendersReluctance to Take Construction Risks; Reporting system on project development is opaque.
TOLEDO SOLAR PV PROJECT Creative Business Model
Project Characteristics
- Agri-Energy Project;
- Only 29% of the 113 hectares is used for solar panels and plant structures;
- Site Development preserves large grazing area;
- Grass variety and planting density are integrated in the infrastructure development plan;
- Animal population is maintained;
- Quality of livestock is upgraded;
- Height of the Mounting Structure Allows Small Animals to Roam;
- Lease Period Returns the Property to Original Land Use.
Toledo Solar PV ProjectAgriculture-Compatible Plant
Building Advantages & Benefits Shorter Permitting Cycle Allowing
Quicker Deployment of Solar PV Power Plants;
Optimized Land Use; More Investments for Agriculture; Productivity Increase & Higher Farm
Income; More Local Employment Opportunities; Improved Nutrition Among Young
Population; Increased Generating Capacity of Local
Grid; More Displacement of Carbon Emitted
by Agriculture & Fossil Based Power Plants;
A. Permitting Process1. More Sustainable Land Use;2. Parallel Review by Government Agencies;
B. Financing 3. Greater Transparency for Approved Projects; 4. Shorter Reporting Period – Monthly vs Quarterly;
Program Management : 5. Public & Private Sector Partnership for Near-Term Target Setting and Smooth Grid Integration to Maximize Solar Benefits to Consumers.
