MAKAKALIKASAN joins the International Energy Agency (IEA) in raising concerns that while "...(g)rowth in renewable energy is set to hit an all-time record this year, but is still falling "well short" of what is necessary to slash planet-warming emissions". While IEA recommends that "...governments need to ramp up renewables by addressing key barriers to their implementation, including grid integration, insufficient remuneration, social acceptance issues and inconsistent policy approaches", we believed most national renewable energy development national legislations, including the Philippines, National Renewable Energy Law of 2008, after 13 years has largely been driven by private sector development and have failed to reach the level of renewable energy that the world and the country needs. What we need is more state-led renewable energy development. It is the key to addressing the serious backlog we have today. As we enter more closer to the climate disaster tipping point, governments must take it upon themselves to secure drastic renewable energy shift and not rely on privatization as the key driver of this development. We need an update nationalized renewable energy law in the country.
