The Phillipines' DEA`s Industry Trends, a regular publication of the Institute for Development and Econometric Analysis, Inc. reports power production trends including geothermal:
- Renewable energy sources, which includes hydroelectric, geothermal, natural gas, solar, wind, among others, remain to be the dominant sources of energy in the country, accounting for an average of 58.3 percent of all sources from 2001 to 2010, indicating growing energy self-sufficiency as the Philippines starts to move away from imported energy and use of pricey fossil fuels.
- However, power generation from renewable sources have slowed down in 2009 and 2010 as geothermal and hydroelectric energy suffered from minor dips in production levels as a few geothermal power plants located in Visayas were forced to shutdown between the February and May period as well as during the last quarter of 2010 because of steam deficiency.
