Renewable Energy Investments and Fiscal Reforms will Ensure Sustainable Economic Growth and Avoid Greek-like Financial Meltdown
Renewable Energy Investments and Fiscal Reforms will Ensure Sustainable Economic Growth and Avoid Greek-like Financial Meltdown
I would like to share my views with the purpose of suggesting what would be the sustainable economic and energy development path for our country, the Philippines.
With the passage of the Renewable Energy (RE) Law, the government thru the DOE, NREB, ERC, NGCP/TRANSCO, PEMC/WESM, NPC/NPC-SPUG, DUs, ECs, power generators (IPPs, IPPAs), NGOs, etc, and with the assistance of donor countries and financial institutions such as the WB, ADB, UNDP, USAID, AUSAID, etc, have developed the IRR and other pertinent regulations for the implementation of the RE Law, including the provision of feed-in-tariff (FIT) that will be paid to RE developers and generators so that it may provide non-fossil power generation to meet future demand of power as well as replace/augment supplies due to retirement of conventional and fossil power generation sources.
On several occasions, it has been articulated by both local and foreign experts that RE power generation is the sustainable way to go to meet the country’s energy and power needs in the future because: More »

Latest Feed-in-Tariff Rates for Renewable Power Generation Technologies
Latest Feed-in-Tariff Rates for Renewable Power Generation Technologies
Fears of price spike due to renewable energy allayed
BY JOHN LOURENZE POQUIZ
The National Renewable Energy Board yesterday allayed fears of a spike in power rates with the tapping of renewable energy, saying the added cost will only be about 12.57 centavos per kilowatt-hour. (1 US$ = 41 Pesos, 1 Peso = 100 centavos)
In its proposed feed-in tariff (FIT) rates submitted to the Energy Regulatory Commission, the NREB pegged the rates at P6.15 per kWh for hydro, P7 for biomass, P10.37 for wind, P17.65 for ocean energy, and P17.95 for solar.
This gives an average of P11.82 per kWh. More »

My success stories with my project finance models
My success stories with my project finance models
To my readers, I would like to share to my some of my success stories since using my top-of-the-line project finance models.
To-date, I was able to jump start my energy technology selection and business development consultancy.
In fact a client in renewable energy project development recently got an investor in their wind energy project (25-100 mw) in the Visayas who used my project finance model and engaged me to conduct a wind energy resource assessment and prepare a pre-feasibility study that finally convinced their investor to build a 25-100 mw wind farm in one of the Visayas islands in the Philippines that will be supplying the Visayas Grid and get paid using the renewable feed-in tariff (FiT) for wind of around PhP10.37 per kWh (exchange rate is PhP44 per US$).

Renewable Energy Prospecting Tools and Modeling – now available
Renewable Energy Prospecting Tools and Modeling – now available
With the recent Fukushima nuclear power plant partial meltdown, the world is now aware of the need towards developing alternative and cleaner, safer and renewable energy to supply the energy and power needs of the world. And to assist in facilitating renewable energy development, there is now a need for precise, easy-to-use renewable energy prospecting tools and using its output to assess the energy potential and the cost of its electricity output.
The energy technology expert has now expanded the usefulness of renewable energy prospecting tools such as the 3-TIER service provider (solar, wind and hydro).
Given the geographical location by specifying its coordinates (latitude and longitude), the 3-TIER provides the annual average wind speed, wind direction (wind rose), wind speed profile (wind speed vs time of year), and wind speed distribution (Weibull chart and constants).
To enhance the value of the 3-TIER outputs, the expert has now in place a wind energy assessment model that takes input data from wind prospecting tools such as 3-TIER that provides at any latitude and longitude and hub height (30, 50, 80 meters) determined from Google Earth or plain maps. The user of 3-TIER can generate and synthesize wind mast and monitoring data on wind, solar and hydro). It uses the daily average at certain times of the year (mid-month at day 15 and end of month at day 30) and interpolates the other days (day 1-14, day 16-29). More »
The Paradigm Shift from Nuclear Energy to Renewable Energy – the Fukushima debacle
The Paradigm Shift from Nuclear Energy to Renewable Energy – the Fukushima debacle
The recent nuclear meltdown incident in one of the 15th largest nuclear power plant in the world as a result of a sequence of events starting with an Intensity 9.0 earthquake that initiated a 10-15 meter tsunami wave within minutes (leaving little time for safe evacuation in spite of adequate tsunami warning by civil and military authorities) that engulfed as far as 10-20 kilometers inland along the flat lands of northeastern Japan, and in the process destroying buildings, roads, bridges, flinging ships inland and disabling the backup diesel generation system of the Fukushima nuclear power plant.
There are newspaper accounts that the earthquake isolated the Fukushima nuclear power plant from the grid, and with a non-operable backup diesel generation backstopped only by an 8-hour battery pack, the world was indeed very close to a China-syndrome type nuclear power plant meltdown. Only the timely use of seawater pumped using crude methods to cool the reactor core and the spent fuel pool prevented a full meltdown. Up to now, the nuclear power plant operator has not succeeded in stabilizing the cooling water system and has relied on pumping and spraying sea water over the damaged nuclear reactors and exposed spent fuel rod cooling pools, leading to leakage of hot radioactive and contaminated sea water into the sea thru the minute cracks on the reactor building’s damage floors.

Improving Nuclear Plant Safety – Lessons Learned from Japan Meltdown
Improving Nuclear Plant Safety – Lessons Learned from Japan Meltdown
Authorities have tried frantically since last Friday’s earthquake and tsunami to avert an environmental catastrophe at the Fukushima Dai-ichi complex in northeastern Japan, 170 miles (270 kilometers) north Tokyo.
I have just read that out of guilt feelings, General Electric (GE) which designed and provided the boiling water reactor (BWR) for the plant is eagerly providing 10 truck mounted diesel generator sets for immediate use and disposal by the plant going into meltdown.
It was also mentioned that the GE design required active cooling of the spent fuel rods as it dissipates decay heat, in contrast to modern design that provides for passive cooling thru convected air currents that does not require power to cool spent fuel rods.
Other news also says the plant operator was too confident of the external grid power supply that it did not need to constantly test and maintain and run the backup diesel gensets since they have an 8-hour battery backup.
All this old design philosophy must now be trashed to the garbage bin and replaced with new designs such as: More »
