Analysis# Philippines Renewable Energy Consumption
The Philippines derived 28% of its total energy consumption from renewable sources in 2021, representing a significant decline from its all-time peak of 51.3% in 1991. This 43.4% drop over three decades reflects a fundamental shift in the country's energy portfolio away from hydropower and biomass toward fossil fuels. Despite the downward trajectory, the 2021 figure remains above the all-time low of 26.9% recorded in 2019.
A notable recovery occurred in 2020, when renewable consumption jumped to 29.1% before settling at 28% the following year. This modest rebound suggests potential stabilization after years of steady decline from 2012 to 2019, when the share fell from 34.1% to 26.9%. Whether this recent uptick signals a sustainable reversal or temporary fluctuation remains unclear, though continued policy focus on renewable expansion could prove pivotal in reshaping the Philippines' energy composition.
