CAMARINES SUR EMERGES AS RENEWABLE ENERGY HUB, EYES 8,000 MW CAPACITY
CAMARINES SUR — Camarines Sur continues to attract major investments in renewable energy as the province strengthens its pipeline of geothermal, solar, wind, and waste-to-energy projects, with a combined potential capacity of up to 8,000 megawatts (MW).
Among the projects being developed is the Mt. Labo Geothermal Power Project in Del Gallego, led by the Philippine Geothermal Production Company (PGPC), with a potential capacity of up to 105 MW. Exploration drilling is currently underway.
The provincial government aims to position Camarines Sur as the Renewable Energy Capital of the Philippines, focusing not only on clean energy generation but also on jobs, businesses, and livelihood opportunities for local communities.
“Renewable energy is not only about megawatts or power capacity. It is about creating jobs, businesses, livelihoods and opportunities for our people. We want to harness Camarines Sur’s natural resources and potential to create long-term and inclusive growth for every community,” said Governor Lray Villafuerte.
The province remains committed to working with investors, the national government, and other stakeholders to promote responsible, sustainable, and investor-friendly development.
