Philippines Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) Planning Calculator

This calculator is designed to help utilities understand when they will need to procure additional renewable capacity, and how procuring additional renewables could result in cost savings.

The Clean Energy Investment Accelerator, supported by the U.S. and German governments and foundations, is working with utilities in the Philippines to set ambitious clean energy goals and meet renewable energy deployment obligations under the new Renewable Portfolio Standards (RPS). The RPS mandate requires all utilities to increase the use of renewable energy by 1% per year beginning in 2020 until 2030. Meeting the RPS requires diligent planning to ensure that cost-effective, reliable resources are identified and procured. This calculator was developed as a tool for utilities in the Philippines to assess their RPS requirement, select potential resources, and determine cost-effective solutions.
