Small-Scale Alternative Energy Options & Projects for Rural (Remote) Areas

Rural Electrification and Role of Solar (PV) Systems; The Household Electrification Project (HEP) and the Rural Electrification Project (RPP) Small – Scale Gasifiers; Biogas

Small-Scale Alternative Energy Options & Projects for Rural (Remote) Areas The O-Ilaw and BEP (1999; 2001) Designed to address the goal of providing electric power to all barangays nationwide (41,995 in remote locations). As of Dec. 31, 2010, 99.89% have been energized. Goals: - Improve quality of life; - Better access to rural development; - Stimulate socio-economic growth in rural areas;

Small-Scale Alternative Energy Options & Projects for Rural (Remote) Areas Issues & Problems Communities need to be fully capacitated to maintain their systems; Given the high initial cost of the system, gov’t. subsidy is still needed; Some replacement components are not readily available or, as in the case of some batteries, not reliable; The low power capacity of the installed systems precludes the use of household appliances, unless these are upgraded for the purpose; Most systems installed depended largely on aid funding

 These two are expansion programs to augment the BEP;  Target : Sitios situated far from the grid (between 2 – 5 km) and have not availed of the BEP;  Implemented in partnership with Distribution Utilities (DU);  Counterpart funding of P 1,000 from HH + P 150 – 250 monthly fee; Small-Scale Alternative Energy Options & Projects for Rural (Remote) Areas HEP (EUMB) and RPP (PB)

Benefits: source of energy (methane); reduction of gas emissions which contribute to global warming through methane capture (methane is 21 times more potent than CO2 as a pollutive gas) protects ground water acquifers from leachates arising from livestock waste, e.g., poultry & hogs; biodegraded waste & wastewater are utilized in farms as organic fertilizer and pest repellants Small-Scale Alternative Energy Options & Projects for Rural (Remote) Areas Other Potential Energy Sources Biogas

As a source of energy, a cubic meter of biogas has the following equivalents:  Kg of LPG (1 LPG = 11.0 Kg)  0.52 Liter of Diesel Fuel  0.80Liter of Gasoline  0.62Liter of Kerosene  0.60Liter of Crude Oil  1.10Liter of Alcohol  1.50Cubic Meter of Natural Gas  1.40Kgs of Charcoal  4.70Kw-Hr of Electricity  3.47Kgs of Firewood  0.43Kg of Butane  Kgs of Cattle Dung Cake Small-Scale Alternative Energy Options & Projects for Rural (Remote) Areas Other Potential Energy Sources Biogas
