The Philippines stands at a pivotal juncture in its energy sector, poised to accelerate towards a sustainable future. Recent data underscores both the challenges and opportunities inherent in the Philippine energy sector. With a rapidly growing population and expanding economy, the demand for energy continues to surge. According to the latest reports, the Philippines' energy demand is projected to increase by an average of 5.8% annually until 2040, highlighting the urgency of sustainable energy solutions.
