Renewable boost for remote Palawan: U.S. donates solar-powered mobile energy units
The U.S. government, through Ambassador MaryKay Carlson, donated three mobile energy systems (MES) to provide electricity to remote communities in Palawan.
The MES units, which each contain 9.18 kW of solar panels and up to 70 kWh of battery capacity, can power 10 Filipino households for a day.
These mobile energy systems will be integrated into microgrids managed by the National Power Corporation (NPC), enhancing the country's energy infrastructure in underserved regions.
Ambassador Carlson stated that the MES are essential tools for resilience and innovation, ensuring that all Filipinos have access to electricity regardless of their location.
Each MES unit can support a disaster response team for a full week, providing power for satellite internet connectivity, computers, mobile phones, two-way radios, and electric fans.
