Climate Sustainability Strategy
The Inyanga Marine Energy Group team recently travelled to the remote off-grid island of Capul in the Philippines to visit the site of the planned HydroWing tidal energy installation. This will be the first ever tidal power generation plant in Southeast Asia and has created great interest and excitement in the region. Inyanga Marine Energy Group won the competitive tender for the contract with Energies PH, Inc affiliate San Bernardino Ocean Power Corporation.
Capul is situated on the San Bernadino Strait, which is an excellent location for the project. Strong tidal currents are found in straits which join two sea areas where different tidal activities happen at the two ends. The San Bernardino strait has powerful currents flowing from the Samar Sea and the Philippine Sea and is well-known for the strength of its tidal flows. The first stage of the project consists of a tidal power plant to be connected into a microgrid network coupled with Solar PV and energy storage, delivering a reliable, sustainable, and cost-competitive alternative to fossil-based power generation. It is expected that the project will deploy in late 2025.
The Inyanga team will shortly return to Capul to take precise measurements of the currents and conduct a thorough assessment of the tidal energy resources at this location. For more information CLICK HERE

“Households are most concerned about increasing food prices and high energy costs.”
According to the 2020 State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World report released in 2017-2019, the Philippines has the highest number of food-insecure individuals in Southeast Asia. Over 59 million Filipinos face moderate to severe challenges in accessing food; an increase from the previous figures of 44.9 million recorded between 2014 and 2016.
Furthermore, a 2022 Study released by the World Food Programme stated that 1 out of 10 Filipinos is food insecure.
Thus, Energies Global Endowment takes a pivotal role to launch and execute “Feed the People” program aligned with the UN SDGs.
“The Batangas Climate Sustainability Strategy©“
focuses on river restoration and flood control civil infrastructure to effectively mitigate the risks of inundation and dangerous landslides in the CALABARZON Region. With its 88 rivers, Batangas becomes vulnerable to the impact of monsoon and typhoons pouring heavy rainfall that drowns the Region and Metro Manila
To jumpstart, private sector initiative desilts and dredges waterways, swamps, creeks, dams and rivers. Official development assistance builds civil infrastructure and massive flood control pumping, drainage and sewage systems.
The Master Plan for agricultural lands reaching 317 hectares consolidates food processing plants and logistics hubs guaranteeing food security in the entire Batangueno and throughout southern Tagalog; and a utility-scale solar power plant energizes the Special Economic Zone that can operate an international seaport to expand domestic and international trade.
“The Catanduanes Climate Sustainability Project©“
The 12th largest off-grid island province, the Abaca capital, rugged and mountainous, most progressive province in Region V in Human Development index yet faces the rigors of the Pacific ocean. Power demand is concentrated in 70% of the island’s southern corridor. Maqueda Channel offers Tidal power resource and Microgrid infrastructure. Solar power is forecasted at 30 MW.

San Bernardino Strait is where the first-ever Tidal power plant has been proven techno-economically viable. Tidal technology is confirmed to be predictable and robust than wind power. With a Declaration Commerciality, Energies PH will finance the project with ODA component. Engineering-Procurement -Construction commences in 2023.
San Bernardino Ocean Power Corporation (SBOPC) is the Special Purpose Company (SPC) for Tidal Power.
