UNDP : Renewable Energy Project Analyst (REPA) – Manila

Background

The province of Lanao Del Sur hosts one the major power plants in Mindanao, the Angus-Pulangi Hydro Power Complex. Despite this, LDS remains energy-poor with power voltage dropping from 220V to 100V. This power situation has weakened the capability of public facilities like hospitals to provide quality services especially during their regular operations and more so during climate disasters and conflict-induced calamities.

In 2023, the UNDP and Department of Energy (DOE) completed the installion a 23kwp roof-top at the Tamparan Provincial Hospital as proof of the viability of renewable energy technologies to provide energy security and encourage local government units and agencies to integrate RE policies and projects into their executive and fiscal agenda. The facility, which served critical areas and equipment, has demonstrated the viability of RE systems in energy stability. The current system but requires expansion. In 2023, the LDS expressed the need to expand the initiative to similar health facilities as the energy situation has remained unchanged.

In 2024, the Japan Government approved a 1-year project for the expansion of renewable energy facilities at the Tamparan provincial hospital and at three (3) additional public health facilities units to ensure access to reliable, affordable energy supply in the province’s health service facilities.

Goals, Objectives and Outputs

This initiative will contribute directly to the pillars of clean energy, sustainable climate change mitigation practices, and a just transition toward net-zero pathways. The project aims to support the accomplishment of inter-connected goals among Primary Partner Organizations (PPO) :

• accelerate the adoption of clean energy, energy efficiency, and just energy transition in the province of Lanao del Sur (LDS) in support of the Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) of the Philippines and the National Renewable Energy Program (NREP) .
• contribute to the peace and development efforts in the region following the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region for Muslim Mindanao (BARMM) 12-point Priority Agenda. PPO shall refer to the Provincial government of Lanao del Sur, the management of the Health Facility where RE systems will be installed and the municipal government units where the HF operates.
