In electric power: energy resources that do not have an upper limit on the total quantity to be used. Such resources are renewable on a regular basis and the renewable rate is rapid enough to consider availability over an indefinite time. These include, among others, biomass, solar, wind, hydro and ocean energy [Section 4(qq), Electric Power Industry Reform Act of 2001; Section 4 (sss), Rules and Regulations to Implement Republic Act No. 9136, Entitled “Electric Power Industry Reform Act of 2001”]
Note: In the EPIRA of 2001 and its IRR, the term is written as “Renewable Energy Resources” only.
In cooperative development, EC: energy resources such as, but not limited to, biomass, solar, wind, hydro, geothermal and ocean energy. These resources do not have an upper limit on the total quantity of energy to be used and are renewable on a regular basis, the renewable rate of which is rapid enough to consider availability over an indefinite time [Section 2(17)(e), Revised Rules and Regulations Implementing Certain and Special Provisions of the Philippine Cooperative Code of 2008]
Note: This definition is part of the definition of Electric Cooperative (EC) under the aforementioned Revised Rules and Regulations Implementing Certain and Special Provisions of the Philippine Cooperative Code of 2008. The term is written as “Renewable Energy Resources” only.
In renewable energy: energy resources that do not have an upper limit on the total quantity to be used. Such resources are renewable on a regular basis, and whose renewal rate is relatively rapid to consider availability over an indefinite period of time. These include, among others, biomass, solar, wind, geothermal, ocean energy, and hydropower conforming with internationally accepted norms and standards on dams, and other emerging renewable energy technologies [Section 4(uu), RE Act of 2008; Section 3(zz), Rules and Regulations Implementing Republic Act No. 9513]
In renewable energy: energy resources that do not have an upper limit on the total quantity to be used. Such resources are renewable on a regular basis, and whose renewal rate is relatively rapid to consider availability over an indefinite period of time. These include, but are not limited to, biomass, solar, wind, geothermal, ocean energy, and hydropower, conforming with internationally accepted norms and standards on dams, and other emerging RE technologies [Section 3.31, DOE Department Circular No. DC2024-06-0018, Revised Omnibus Guidelines Governing the Award and Administration of Renewable Energy Contracts and the Registration of Renewable Energy Developers]
