DAVAO CITY — Mindanao is far from being “energy self-sufficient,” an environmental group said on Saturday, as the island’s power mix now comprises 69% non-renewable sources.
Engr. Nilo Geroche, director of the Department of Energy-Mindanao Field Office, earlier this week said non-renewal sources are from coal and oil-based, comprising 51% and 18%, respectively, of the island’s electricity mix. Peñalver said if the trend continues, Mindanao will largely contribute to the “national and global emissions of greenhouse gases thereby contributing to the impacts of climate change.”
He said some local politicians pushing for this project want to put up WTE not only to address solid waste management but also increase power generation for this city. He believed that a WTE project would only encourage people to generate more wastes to keep the facility running.
