WWF, Pure Energy to develop hydropower sources

The World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) Philippines has signed a partnership with Pure Energy Holdings Corporation (PEHC) to help identify areas of opportunities to deploy renewable energy projects, specifically run-of-river hydropower.

PEHC, which was founded in 2013, has interests in hydropower, geothermal energy, and water supply systems throughout the country. Among its operations are three 90-year-old run-of-river hydropower plants in Laguna, which are managed under Philippine Power and Development Company. PEHC also has hydropower sites in Quezon and Camarines Sur, and in several locations in Mindanao.
