Minigrids to speed up total PH electrificationhome/Business/Top Business/Minigrids to speed up total PH electrificationMinigrids can help the government accelerate its goal of energizing every household in the Philippines, an official of the Renewable Energy Association of the Philippines (REAP) said on Monday. “Minigrid system will play an important role in ensuring and accelerating the total electrification of the country. Being an archipelagic country, centralized power generation can be challenging if not costly,” REAP President Erel Narida said. Narida said Sabang Renewable Energy Corp.’s (SREC) hybrid power plant in Palawan province, which went online in April this year, will be suitable for electrification. “Most of these households are located in Visayas and Mindanao, mostly small islands, either underserved using expensive diesel genset (generator sets) with limited operating or totally unserved.
