DoE sets scope of ban on new coal plants

13 January 2021

 – 

  • Philippines

Existing coal-fired power plants in the Philippines are excluded from the ban on coal power plants, according to the Department of Energy (DoE). In a Dec. 22, 2020 memorandum that was posted on the department’s website on Monday, Energy Secretary Alfonso Cusi said existing and operational coal-fired power generation facilities would not be covered. Committed coal power projects and existing power plant complexes that already have firm expansion plans and existing land site provisions are also not covered. The memorandum also exempts projects with substantial accomplishments, particularly those that have signed lease agreement for the projects, and approved permits or resolutions from local government units and the Regional Development Council where the facilities would be located. The DoE, however, would no longer process applications for planned facilities.

Nine power projects get SIS endorsement

13 January 2021

 – 

  • Philippines

NINE power projects, including a coal-fired power plant in Mindanao, has secured the Department of Energy’s (DoE) approval to conduct a system impact study (SIS) on their respective power facilities. GNPower Kauswagan Ltd. Co. was endorsed to the National Grid Corp. of the Philippines for clearance to conduct an SIS for its coal-fired power plant in Kauswagan town, Lanao del Norte province. Based on the agency’s data, GN Power Kauswagan’s coal facility — a partnership of AC Energy Inc. and the Philippine Investment Alliance for Infrastructure Fund and Power Partners — has an installed capacity of 605.2 megawatts (MW). But AC Energy, the power arm of Ayala Corp., earlier announced it was divesting the company’s coal assets, including those coal facilities ahead of its original schedule of 2030. AC Energy already transferred its indirect ownership interest in GNPower Kauswagan to its developer-partner, Power Partners Ltd. Co.

What’s Driving Vietnam’s Renewable Energy Boom?

12 January 2021

 – 

  • Vietnam

In 2014, the installed capacity of non-hydroelectric renewable energy in Vietnam (such as solar, wind and biomass gasification) stood at 109 megawatts (MW), about one third of one percent of the country’s total installed capacity of 34,079 MW. At the time, Vietnam’s electricity mix was dominated by hydropower (46 percent), coal (29 percent) and natural gas (22 percent). By the end of 2019, wind and solar accounted for 5,700 MW of installed capacity, about 10 percent of the total supply. That means Vietnam has seen wind and solar go from essentially zero to 10 percent of its supply in only five years. What is driving this renewable energy boom?

System design key to enhancing cooling effect of water in floating PV

12 January 2021

 – 

  • Singapore

Researchers in the Netherlands and Singapore have measured irradiance-weighted average temperatures of floating PV systems in both countries and have compared the results with reference rooftop and ground-mounted PV systems. They have discovered that floating PV systems with open structures, which allow wind to pass beneath the modules, can provide a higher heat loss coefficient.
