GEOGRAPHICAL STATISTICS

Panay is a triangular island in the Philippines located in the western part of the Visayas.
It is about 160 kilometres (100 mi) across, ranking the sixth largest of the islands in the country.
Politically, it is divided into four provinces: Aklan, Antique, Capiz, and Iloilo, all in the Western
Visayas Region. It is located southeast of the island of Mindoro and northwest of Negros,
separated by the Guimaras Strait. Between Negros and Panay Island lie the island-province
of Guimaras. To the north and northeast is the Sibuyan Sea and the islands of Romblon; to the
west and southwest is the Sulu Sea and to the south is Panay Gulf.

The island, bisected by Central Panay Mountain Range, has many rivers
including Aklan, Jalaur River, Jaro River (including Ticud and Aganan
tributaries), Banica, Sibalom, Tipulu-an, Mao-it, Iloilo, and Panay. Mount Madiaas is the highest
peak on the island at an elevation of 2,117 meters above sea level. Other peaks include Mount
Porras, Nangtud, Baloy, and Napulak.

It consists of 5 provinces, 1 highly urbanized city, 2 component cities, 95 municipalities and

3,389 barangays.Aklan Province, Philippines

 The Region has a total land area of 20,223.2 sq km, which is approximately 6.74 percent of
the total land area of the Philippines. Forty-three percent of the region's land resources is devoted
to agricultural purposes. Sugar cane covers the majority of area in Negros Occidental and rainfed
or irrigated palay in Panay. The region's fishing grounds produce a large variety of marine,
fishery and aquaculture products. It is one of the country's major exporters of prawn, tuna, and
other fish products.

Western Visayas is rich in mineral and non-mineral resources. Metallic ore reserves found in
the region include primary copper, iron (lump ore) and pyrite. The region is a good place for
investment. Its foremost resource is its rich, fertile soil which can grow a wide variety and
abundant supply of agricultural crops throughout the year.

Natural attractions like Boracay and Guimaras Islands make the region a major tourist
destination. Its rich cultural heritage provides a microcosm of Philippine culture and heritage.

The region's ports and airports are well-kept to facilitate and accommodate the inflow and
outflow of commodities in the region. The deep natural harbor in the city of Iloilo has the
potential of becoming a major gateway for the region's produce.

The region's skilled manpower resource is also due of its greatest potential. With proper
training and capability building, the people of the region can pave the way for the industrial
growth and expansion of Western Visayas.
POPULATION

The population of Region VI (Western Visayas) as of August 1, 2015 was 4,477,247

based on the 2015 Census of Population (POPCEN 2015).

The 2015 population of the region is higher by 282,668 compared with the population of 4.19
million in 2010, and by 831,932 compared with the population of 3.65 million in 2000. Refer to Table
1.

The population of Region VI increased by 1.25 percent annually, on average, during the period 2010
to 2015. By comparison, the rate at which the regions population grew during the period 2000 to 2010
was higher at 1.41 percent. See Table 2.

Among the five provinces comprising the region, Iloilo (excluding Iloilo City) had the biggest
population in 2015 with 1.94 million, followed by Capiz with 761 thousand, Antique with 582
thousand, and Aklan with 575 thousand. Guimaras had the smallest population with 175 thousand.
Refer to Table 3.

Iloilo City, the only highly urbanized city in the region posted a population of 448 thousand.
 The total population of Region VI accounted for about 4.4 percent of the Philippine population in
2015.

Aklan was the fastest growing province in the region with an average annual population growth ra
percent during the period 2010 to 2015. It was followed by Iloilo (excluding Iloilo City) with a PGR
Guimaras (1.33 percent), and Antique (1.22 percent). Capiz posted the lowest provincial PGR of 1.08 perce

Iloilo City posted a PGR of 1.02 percent.

 Region VI is composed of one highly urbanized city, two component cities, 98 municipalities, and
3,389 barangays.

Among the cities (excluding Iloilo City) and municipalities in the region, the largest in terms of
population size is Roxas City, Capiz with 167,003 persons. It was followed by Oton, Iloilo (89,115) and
Kalibo, Aklan (80,605). The rest of the top ten most populous cities/municipalities in Region VI are all
located in the province of Iloilo. Refer to Table 5.

Belizon in Antique is the least populous city/municipality in Region VI with 13,539

persons. It was followed by Bingawan in Iloilo (15,199) and Lezo in Aklan (15,224). See
Table 6.
 Of the 3,389 barangays in Region VI, the largest in terms of population size is
Calumpang in Iloilo City, Iloilo with 15,150 persons. It was followed by Manoc-Manoc in
Malay, Aklan (14,810) and Andagaw in Kalibo, Aklan (12,703). Refer to Table 7.

Below are the two tables Annual Gross Generation and Annual Peak Demand of Panay
Island and its neighboring island.
Annual Gross Generation
 Annual Peak Demand

The tables provided shows that Panay Islands is the 4th highest Annual Gross Generation
with 1,597,330 MWh as well as the 3rd highest Annual Peak Demand of 309MW (tied with
Negros Islands) in the Visayas Sub-Grid as of year 2015.
HISTORICAL ACTUAL AND POTENTIAL ELECTRICITY DEMAND

Gross Power Generation in MWh

Annual System Peak Demand Per Grid in MW
10-YEAR DEMAND FORECAST

Visayas energy sales and peak

demand are expected to grow much faster

than Luzon as shown in Table 2. Based on

the growth rate indicated in the table, the

grids energy sales of 6,565GWh in 2008

is expectes to increase to 10,601GWh by

2018, and will reach 19,121GWh by 2030.

Correspondingly, the peak demand will

expand from 1,176MW by 2018, and increase to 3,404MW by 2030.

Additional capacities are neede on top of the committed capacities to meet the increasing

electricity requirement of the country broken down into the following grid requirements: (i) 72.0

percent or 11,900MW for the Luzon Grid; (ii) 13.0 percent or 2,150MW for the Visayan Grid;

and (iii) 15.0 percent or 2,500MW for the Mindanao Grid as shown in Table 5.
Visayas Grid

The supply of power in the Visayas grid remains tight between 2010-2011 (Figure 2).

With the coming-in of the following committed capacities, supply situation in the Visayas is

expected to normalize within the short-term: (i) 3 x 80 MW coal-fired plant from Cebu Energy

Development Corporation in March 2010 for Unit I, June 2010 for Unit II and January 2011 for

Unit III; (ii) 200 MW Cebu coal-fired plant from Kepco; (iii) 160 MW Panay coal-fired plant

from Global Green Power; (iii) 20 MW geothermal plant from Energy Development

Corporation; and (iv) 17.5 MW biomass-fed plant from Global Green Power.

However, based on the results of 2009-2030 demand forecast exercises, Visayas grid is

projected to increase its annual electricity requirement by 4.6 percent until 2030. With this

projection, the system needs a total of 2,150 MW additional capacities on top of the committed

power projects thereby assuming 2018 as the grids new critical period.

RECOMMENDED POWER PLANT CONFIGURATION

Biomass Power Plant

A biomass-fired power plant produces electricity and heat by burning biomass in a boiler.
The most common types of boilers are hot water boilers and steam boilers.
 At present, biomass technologies utilized in the country vary from the use of bagasse as
boiler fuel for cogeneration, rice/coconut husks dryers for crop drying, biomass gasifiers for
mechanical and electrical applications, fuel wood and agricultural wastes for oven, kiln, furnace
and cook-stoves for cooking and heating purposes. Biomass technologies represent the largest
installations in the Philippines in comparison with the other renewable energy, energy efficiency
and greenhouse gas abatement technologies.

Biomass energy plays a vital role in the nations energy supply. Nearly 30 percent of the
energy for the 80 million people living in the Philippines comes from biomass, mainly used for
household cooking by the rural poor. Biomass energy application accounts for around 15 percent
of the primary energy use in the Philippines. The resources available in the Philippines can
generate biomass projects with a potential capacity of more than 200 MW.

The vast sugarcane plantations in Panayand Negros Occidental and the steadily
increasing areas planted with jatropha provide enormous opportunities for bio-fuel production.
Bio-fuel basically refers to organically-derived materials where solid, liquid or gaseous
materials can be produced for either bio-ethanol or bio-diesel.
Recently, however, there appears to be no new investments on Renewable Energy despite efforts
to entice investors to come in.

This could be attributed to the low awareness of potential investors on RE incentives and
benefits; the lack of information and education campaign by concerned agencies; and the slow
processing of application for RE contracts. On bio-fuels, the issue of food production and
biodiversity function may arise since the areas earmarked for bio-fuel production might encroach
on the areas for food production. In the same manner, the seasonal availability of feed stocks,
such as agricultural wastes and low fuel wood production due to low marginal land utilization for
biomass power may prove a hindrance to the full operation of the plants. Nevertheless, the use of
biomass power can directly increase savings in household energy expenditures by reducing
household operational expenses, as well as, reducing health-related expenditures with the
introduction of clean and efficient fuels.

To support biomass power generation, marginal lands for feedstock and fuel wood
production will be optimized providing additional income to local communities and fueling the
rural economy. A network for collecting agriculture wastes like rice and corn stalks, rice husks,
wood chips, bagasse, coconut husks, among many others, will be set up starting at the barangay
leading to a central consolidator. Existing rural cooperatives will be strengthened and utilized in
this endeavor to provide additional income to their members.
