The measure will also form the Philippine CREZ, which will identify and establish CREZ, as well as develop a planning framework that shall direct the country's transmission development to areas where potential RE resources are located.

DOE mulls creation of renewable energy zones

The draft circular is meant to identify CREZ in the country and complement the 'Greening the Grid: Solar and Wind Integration study for the Luzon-Visayas Systems in the Philippines' in which the RE targets of 30 percent and 50 percent are achievable in the power system as planned for 2030.

FUTURE-PROOFING ENERGY TRANSPORT LAW

(282) The state offered financial incentives for investment in renewable power within the CREZ zones, and decided to "socialize" the costs of building transmission generators in the CREZ zones eastward to those in San Antonio, Houston, and the remainder of central and east Texas.

Naive energy markets

Unlike deregulation in California, which led to a near-collapse of the grid and a series of major blackouts in 2000 and 2001, the policy in Texas has mostly worked as planned, thanks to efficient grid operations and the abundance of transmission lines in the CREZ network.

The one and only Texas wind boom: wind power has transformed the heart of fossil-fuel country. Can the rest of the United States follow suit?

That's because Texas long ago surpassed its renewable energy goal, and most of the $7 billion CREZ program - which regulators used to build power lines to connect windy West Texas to large electricity-hungry cities in the east - was completed in December.
