Project Description

The project helps CEPALCO demonstrate the technical, operational, and possible economic feasibility of using photovoltaic-based energy to supplement and strengthen the capacity of existing hydro production facilities, initially in the Philippines. The objective is to eliminate the need for additional thermal power generation facilities, thereby reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and to have a demonstration effect in other developing countries.
