Philippines upgrading transmission system on Luzon island
Five-year project will cost US$1.25 billion. The National Grid Corporation of the Philippines will start by improving the transmission facilities of the 75 MW Ambuklao hydroelectric dam built in 1950 and the 132 MW Binga hydroelectric dam built in 1956. NGCP said the transmission development plan plans to increase the amount of electricity distributed by the Luzon grid from 7,969 MW in 2011 to 11,165 MW in 2021. Metro Manila consumes 74% or 8,305 MW of the 11,165 MW of electricity channeled daily through the Luzon grid. The plan intends to modernize the high-power voltage lines of the Ambuklao and Binga dams and the transmission lines connecting Binga to San Manuel, Pangasinan, and to La Trinidad, Benguet.

Southeast Asia is energy industry’s next growth market
Region will be comparable to China and India. The International Energy Agency said people may be talking about Southeast Asia as the next emerging market for energy, just as people have been talking about China and India. has a combined population of about 600 million. Together, the 10-member Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), China and India are really gradually shifting the center of gravity of the global energy market towards Asia, IEA said. ASEAN economies are expected to diversify their energy sources to include more clean energies with natural gas as an important option.

What you don't know about the Ring of Fire
Bandung 1955, the Non-Aligned Movement, Sukarno, Nehru, Tito, Nasser, etc. – like leaves from a sepia photo album faded as time moved on. Yet in the interconnected global economy where international investments and financing routinely ignores borders, is there room to dust off the “South-South” paradigm for energy development? Especially in a sector such as renewable energy where the challenge and risk profiles are similar along a “South-South” axis, there may yet be some juice left in that old model.
