MANILA, Philippines – The Department
of Energy (DOE) is eyeing to bid out contracts to develop renewable energy (RE)
resources per area to further boost development in the sector and allow more
players in the field, as well as prevent further transmission contraints in the
future.
This will be the direction of RE
development after the end of President Aquino’s term, DOE Secretary Zenaida
Monsada said.
She noted there are data on the RE
resources with the DOE-Renewable Energy Management Bureau (REMB) and National
Renewable Energy Board (NREB), but only for wind and solar.
Contracts for these resources will
then be auctioned off to the private sector through competitive selection
process (CSP), she added.
Monsada said the DOE will start
updating the RE component of the Power Development Plan aimed to avoid
transmission constraints when developing RE projects in one area.
