Statistical Indicators on Philippine Development 2006
Chapter on Power Sector Reforms ![]()
Goal: Implement critical and strategic energy infrastructure to
promote energy independence and strive to reduce electricity rates
The power sector reforms implemented need to be further pursued and imposed. The modest increase in geothermal capacity was compensated by the upswing in natural gas and hydropower plants. The target number of category A+ and A of electric cooperatives has already been surpassed in 2005. However, further reduction in distribution system loss still needs to be attained.
Strategy/Target Indicator Accomplishments versus Targets Performance
Increase geothermal capacity and new oil and gas discoveries Generating capacity of geothermal and natural gas plants
Source: DOE
Installed generating capacity of geothermal plants increased from 2004 to 2005 but did not change in 2006
Installed generating capacity of natural gas plants did not change from 2004 to 2006
Power generation from geothermal plants
Source: DOE
Power generation from geothermal plants went down in 2005 but moved upwards in 2006
Power generation from natural gas plants grew by 36 percent from 2004 to 2005 and declined slightly in 2006
Construct hydropower plants.

Power generation from hydropower plants declined slightly in 2005 but increased significantly in 2006
Lower the distribution system loss to 13% in 2005 and to a single digit system loss by 2010 (Electric Cooperatives) Distribution system loss, level and percentage
