Antonio Ver, co-chairman and chief executive of Energies PH Inc., says the company is launching a series of firsts in the Philippines with its ‘Tidal In-stream Energy Conversion Power technology Project’ bundled with the ‘Nationwide Microgrid Program’ and ‘Recharging Hydrogen Fuels’ in Capul island in San Bernardino strait and adjoining islands in Northern Samar. The bundling of solar and tidal power with recharging hydrogen fuels will provide steady microgrid electricity to poor residents of select islands and remote areas in the Philippines. Ver says during the Asia Clean Energy Forum 2022 the newly-launched company is going in this direction after it analyzed that the best way to use limited private funds is to bring power where it is most needed in the country—the poor in the hinterlands.
