Philippines Renewable Energy. The Philippines, an archipelago of over 7,000 islands located in Southeast Asia, is blessed with abundant renewable energy resources. With its strategic location in the Pacific Ring of Fire and exposure to the trade winds, the country boasts a significant potential for harnessing renewable energy (RE).

Clean and renewable energy sources like geothermal, hydro, wind, biomass and solar energy are among the country''s few competitive advantages – especially since it has no significant deposits of fossil-fuels. Its continued dependence on imported fuel has made Philippine electricity rates among the highest in Asia.

All this has only amplified longstanding calls for the country to find alternative sources of energy, such as renewables. In 2008, the Arroyo administration signed Republic Act No. 9513 or the Renewable Energy Act to accelerate the development of the country''s renewable energy resources and reduce our dependence on fossil fuels.
