 Hydroelectric Power

Moving water is a powerful source of energy.

 The power harnessed from moving bodies of
water is called hydroelectric power.  

The Philippines make use of two methods in

order to harness power; dam storage or
impoundment, and run-of-river.

 Geothermal Power

Geothermal energy comes from the heat beneath

the Earth’s surface.  There are two methods of
extracting geothermal energy used in the
Philippines: the flash steam and the binary cycle.

Geothermal energy extracted through flash

steaming extracts water with a temperature
greater than 182 °C using steam pipes.  The steam
is used to power turbines that generate energy,
while the remaining water is released back into the
ground.  The binary process extracts water at a
lower temperature than flash steaming.

 Solar Power

Solar energy is used as a source of energy in

the Philippines through industrial sized
photovoltaic plants in the country.

The Philippines has only recently

incorporated large scale solar farms in the
country, despite the fact that the country is
geographically located in a region that
receives a high amount of sunlight each year.

 Wind Energy

Like water, moving air also generates energy

through wind turbines that supply kinetic
energy through mechanical power.  The
turbines then power a generator to produce
energy.

 Biomass Energy

Biomass energy is similar to fossil fuel in that

it is combusted in order to boil water to
produce steam that will drive a generator.  

Being an agricultural country, the Philippines

is rich in natural resources like bagasse, rice
husks, and coconut husks are used instead of
fossil fuel.

 Nuclear Power Plant

A nuclear power plant is a thermal power

station in which the heat source is
a nuclear reactor. As is typical of
thermal power stations, heat is used to
generate steam that drives a steam turbine
connected to a generator that produces
electricity.

 Renewable energy in the Philippines
The Philippines utilizes renewable
energy sources including hydro power,
geothermal and solar energy, wind
power and biomass resources. In 2013,
these sources contributed 19,903 GWh
of electrical energy, representing 26.44
percent of the country's energy needs.
