Techno‐Economic Potential of Hybrid Renewable Energy Systems for Rural Health Units in the Philippines

Allen Lemuel G. Lemence, Mili‐Ann M. Tamayao · 2021 · World Medical & Health Policy

Summary. This study evaluated hybrid renewable energy systems for rural health clinics in the Philippines, comparing grid-connected and off-grid configurations. Solar photovoltaic panels paired with either the grid or battery-generator systems reduced energy costs by 37–42 percent and carbon emissions by 59 percent while meeting at least 70 percent of facility electricity demand. The findings support integrating these systems into rural healthcare facilities to improve energy access, resilience, and sustainability.
