Eight solar and micro-grid companies from Germany are looking at opportunities to invest in renewable energy projects in the Philippines.
German government-owned international cooperation company Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit GmbH and the German-Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry Inc. are organizing the fifth business trip of German renewable enegy companies to the Philippines on Oct. 26 to 30.
GIZ said the eight German solar PV and micro-grid companies and three renewable energy experts would comprise the delegation.
The German companies will include 8p2 Ingenieurspartnerschaft, an engineering firm specializing in technical inspection and consulting; Autarsys GmbH, a provider of modular energy storage systems; IB Vogt GmbH, a global solar EPC company; IBC SOLAR AG, an international provider of comprehensive solar solutions; PV2 Energie GmbH, a solar project developer; Qinous GmbH, a provider of plug and play energy storage solutions; SaEnergy Systems GmbH, whose “Power&Life Container” provides independent and stand-alone energy supply; Solea AG, a leading turnkey PV systems provider; and the experts from eclareon GmbH, a consulting firm focusing on renewable energy.
GIZ said innovative off-grid renewable energy power generation and distribution solutions were required to achieve the household electrification goals of the country.
Stand-alone micro-grid solutions powered by renewable energy and hybridization of diesel plants, backed up by intelligent battery and power management systems, offer a promising path towards electrifying those communities.
“The visiting German companies have developed such solutions and are looking for partners in the private and public sectors to implement them in the Philippines,” GIZ said in a statement.
