PEP 2023-2050 Vol. I — Section E (Full CES + Energy Transition Chapter)

PDF pages: 96–128 (internal doc pages 87–119) Sections covered:

  • Completion of Chapter II CES power and capacity data
  • CES-2 (50 GW OSW) comparison
  • E20 bioethanol hypothetical scenario
  • Chapter on Energy Transition (PETP, transition pathways, enablers, policy implications)
  • Annexes 1–30 (tabular data — not ingested; key numbers captured in narrative sections)

Key Takeaways

  1. CES-1 is the wind-and-nuclear scenario: By 2050, wind reaches 32.6% of generation (144.5 TWh), nuclear adds 8.7% (38.6 TWh); combined RE 64.9% vs REF’s 50.7%.
  2. CES-2 makes wind the single largest generator: 50 GW OSW drives wind to 49.5% (220.4 TWh) and total RE to 70.7% — solar is displaced downward.
  3. CFPP voluntary retirement is quantified but modest: CES-1 retires ~3,660 MW; CES-2 ~4,803 MW; their direct GHG contribution (6.1–8.1 MtCO₂e) is small compared to dispatch substitution.
  4. No net-zero commitment: Philippines explicitly does not commit to net-zero within the 2050 planning horizon; natural gas is confirmed as the transition fuel.
  5. WEF ranking (94/120) motivates PETP: The Philippine Energy Transition Program is the formal response to the Philippines’ low energy transition preparedness score.
  6. PETP is “just transition” framing: Combines decarbonization targets with employment (1.2M green jobs), affordability (energy expenditure declining from 7.3% to 5.3% of household income), and workforce rightskilling.
  7. OSW contracted capacity (62.3 GW) already exceeds CES-1 target (19 GW): 80 service contracts awarded as of October 2023; 178 GW potential identified by World Bank.
  8. CREZ-2 extends storage siting: Battery storage areas are now designated alongside RE generation zones; SGGP integrates both.
  9. NGCP grid expansion is a bottleneck: Only 8% total line expansion since 2009 (1%/yr pre-pandemic); flagged by DOE as critical constraint for RE integration.
  10. Energy intensity targets exceeded international benchmarks early: CES meets ASEAN APAEC target in 2023 (2 years early); breaches APEC 45% target in 2028 (7 years early).
  11. 100% household electrification by 2028: 879,232 households unelectrified as of December 2022; RA 11646 (Microgrid Systems Act 2022) supports remote community access.
  12. GHG cumulative avoidance: REF 1,200.2 MtCO₂e · CES-1 2,173.5 MtCO₂e · CES-2 2,458.2 MtCO₂e (2023–2050).
