dc.description.abstract

The Philippines, a rapidly developing nation of nearly 120 million people and more than 7,000 islands, has set ambitious targets for its transition to clean energy. Modernization of its electric grid is a key step towards achieving these goals and supporting a more affordable, reliable, and sustainable energy system. Through our research, we assessed the status quo of the current energy grid and regulatory structure in the Philippines and identified the policy and financing challenges the country faces in modernizing its grid to increase integration of renewable energy. We further investigated international case studies of grid modernization efforts in the United States, Brazil, and South Africa, to evaluate their areas of success and lessons learned. Using these lessons, we provide policy recommendations that stakeholders in the Philippines can use as frameworks to develop policy solutions to accelerate their grid modernization efforts.
