However, the country's heavy dependence on mineral resources for energy reaching 95 percent has led to early depletion of the reserves notably oil and gas reserves.
The Philippines, which is also an archipelago like Indonesia, has been more advanced in the utilization of geothermal energy despite having only 14 percent of the world's total reserves and a much lower potential capacity compared to Indonesia.
However, it has been able to generate 1,904 MW of electricity from its total potential capacity of 6,000 MW.
The Philippines, which has small oil reserves, has developed geothermal power for 20 years prompted by global energy crisis in the 1970s.
