Small-Scale Alternative Energy Options & Projects for Rural (Remote) Areas
SCOPE OF PRESENTATION:
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;

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;

HEP (EUMB) and RPP (PB)
HEP System : one (1) 30 Wp Solar Panel good for three (3) 3 – watt LED lights;
RPP System : one (1) 50Wp Solar panel good for two (2) 3 – watt LED + provision for DC-TV (preferably LCD)
HEP initially targetted 14 sitios (370 HH) in 2010;

Gasifier
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
