Philippines renewable capacity to reach 30GW by 2035, forecasts GlobalData

GlobalData predicts that the Philippines' cumulative renewable capacity will increase to around 30 GW by 2035 – from about 7.1 GW in 2025. The main drivers are solar PV (approx. 18.7 GW) and wind (approx. 7.4 GW), supported by auctions such as the Green Energy Auction Program and investment-friendly reforms. Despite the expansion, coal and natural gas remain dominant for the base load; in addition, nuclear power (approx. 0.3 GW by 2035) is planned for the first time.

Argentina’s renewables expansion to remain moderate through 2035 despite strong resource potential, says GlobalData

GlobalData expects the expansion of renewable energies in Argentina to progress only moderately by 2035, despite excellent wind and solar resources. Solar PV is expected to grow from around 2.5 GW (2025) to about 7.9 GW (2035) and wind from around 4.5 GW to around 7.6 GW; bottlenecks in grid capacity, financing and politics are slowing the pace. Gas remains central to the electricity mix thanks to Vaca Muerta, while coal-fired power is declining significantly.
