WORD FOR THE DAY
 2 Chronicles 7:13-14
When I shut up the heavens so that
there is no rain, or command
locusts to devour the land or send
or send a plague among my people,
if my people, who are called by my
name, will humble themselves and
pray and seek my face and turn
from their wicked ways, then I will
hear from heaven and will forgive
their sin and will heal their land.
POWER STATUS OF ENERGY
IN POWER SECTOR (2015)
 Note: • Base-load
Power Plants are the
facilities used to meet
some or all of a given
continuous energy
demand, and produce
energy at a constant
rate
POWER STATUS OF ENERGY
IN POWER SECTOR (2015)
HOW ON EARTH DID THAT
HAPPEN?
 The Department of Energy (DoE) expects the
Philippines’ first ocean energy facility to start
commercial operations by 2018.

 Data from the National Renewable Energy Plan book

showed that the first project to go into operation will be
the 10-megawatt Cabangan ocean thermal energy
conversion (Otec) project in Zambales. The Cabangan
project is one of 20 indicative power projects, which are
expected to require a combined P11 billion in
investments. A study conducted by the Mindanao State
University indicated that the country, being an
archipelago, has a theoretical capacity of 170,000
megawatts over a 1,000 square kilometer ocean
resource area.

 QUANTITY OF
ALTERNATIVE STRATEGY
THE APPLICATION OF OCEAN ENERGY
CAN REDUCE 16-18 % of the annual Carbon
Emission.
IMPACTS OF ALTERNATIVE
STRATEGY
 Generates electricity with no
greenhouse emissions.
 Totally renewable energy.
 Works day and night with only
routine pump maintenance and
little ongoing costs.
 Unlimited source of free
energy especially in tropical
waters.
 IMPACTS OF ALTERNATIVE
STRATEGY
 Needs a large difference in temperatures (surface
and deep) for best results.
 Needs to be close to the national grid.
 Needs a constant supply of warm and cold water,
so only suitable for tropical locations.
 Plant needs safe location from storms and surf.
RECOMMENDATIONS
 DECREASE TOURISM,
AND INCREASE
INVESTMENT FOR
NEW ALTERNATIVE
TECHNOLOGIES
RECOMMENDATIONS
 IMPOSE AN
EARLY
ORIENTATION
TO THE
PEOPLE
ABOUT THE
POTENTIALS
IN OCEAN
ENERGY.
 RECOMMENDATIONS
 Vote for a wise leader, who thinks of the needs of
his people not his visitors.
THANK
YOU!!
