Renewable Energy: Getting Off the Grid

micronomore-getting-off-the-gridThe perspective of using cleaner, secure and sustainable sources of energy is not just immediately necessary in the face of the ever-rising prices of oil products but is our only way to live as humans and save the earth. Micro-no-more supports the NGOs, the Department of Energy and providers of solar and wind energy that are working in making solar and wind energy affordable to the people.

An initiative to establish solar energy to power households and micro-enterprises in an isolated island of Eastern Visayas, Philippines is being worked out by a team of SEEDFINANCE, an international organization and a local partner. This island is expected to be powered up by this clean solar energy late of 2009. Presently, the local government is using a diesel-fed generator to supply a 3-hour per day electricity to the island residents. Similar project is also being undertaken by ICTUS in powering its eco-resort in Lake Sebu, Cotabato.

When all requirements are met and satisfied, renewable energy will be replicated in all areas where micro-no-more has a partner. The Philippines receives more energy from the sun every day than its people uses in a year so there is scarcity is out of question.
