ADB RE project goes online in Romblon

Manila-based Asian Development Bank (ADB) announced that a renewable energy (RE) project rolled out under its Energy for All initiative began providing round-the-clock electricity for the first time to all 244 households on the island of Cobrador in Romblon province.

In a statement on Thursday, the ADB said the solar-diesel hybrid power generation system has a 30-kilowatt solar photovoltaic capacity to generate energy for immediate use during the day, and 180 kWh lithium-ion batteries to store excess energy for later use.
