Supplying not electrified island with 100% renewable energy based micro grids: A geospatial and techno-economic analysis for the Philippines

Access to clean energy is required for facilitating sustainable development in remote areas. In the Philippines many small islands are not supplied with electricity although it is aimed to achieve universal electrification by 2022. Here, renewable energy holds a large potential given the abundant resource availability and high costs for fossil fuel. However, a lack of key information for electrification planning prevents the wider deployment of renewable energy.
