| Abstract | Within a span of 12 years, since the 1973 oil crisis, the Philippines has become the world's second largest producer of geothermal energy. Today, the country has four developed geothermal fields with a combined generating capacity of 894 Mwe, and about 25 more prospects in various stages of exploration and development. The Philippines hopes to attain a 50 percent energy self sufficiency by the end of 1985, and possible greater towards the turn of the decade, with development of its geothermal and other indigenous energy programs. |
