This report shows how the Philippine's Malalison Island pilot hybrid solar photovoltaic project generated reliable 24/7 electricity and could be scaled up to other off-grid communities across the archipelago to improve energy equity and increase resilience.
It shows how 188 households and businesses in Malalison benefited from lower energy prices through the ADB-backed hybrid diesel-based scheme, which helped lift living standards and livelihoods. Explaining the role of private sector partners, the report shows how the hybrid project can be replicated with the backing of organizations such as ADB to bring clean, sustainable energy to all.
