In a move to improve energy access and sustainability in off-grid communities, the Philippine National Oil Co. (PNOC) has partnered with WindStream Energy Technologies India Pvt Ltd., an Indian renewable energy solutions provider. Through this collaboration, PNOC and WindStream will implement hybrid renewable technology systems in small island communities across the nation using SolarMill technologies.
SolarMill technologies integrate wind and solar energy systems, providing a modular and scalable energy solution that can be easily deployed and installed in remote areas. This partnership is expected to expedite the government’s electrification objectives by utilizing the compact size of SolarMill systems. Furthermore, it is anticipated to strengthen the hybridization program of the National Power Corporation for its small power utility group in off-grid areas.
WindStream Energy Technologies, founded in 2013, offers hybrid renewable energy systems to approximately 38 countries. By combining diesel-powered generation with solar and wind power, the initiative aims to improve energy access and sustainability in off-grid communities. This collaboration is a significant step towards achieving a more sustainable future for the Philippines’ energy needs.
