Ateneo scientists identify 3 Visayas straits as top sites for tidal power

MANILA, Philippines—Harnessing just a fraction of the Philippines’ tidal energy resource could theoretically generate enough electricity to match the country’s current power consumption, according to Ateneo de Manila University researchers who identified three Visayas straits as among the most promising sites for future tidal power projects. In a study assessing tidal energy potential in the Visayas, Ateneo researchers Justin Kyle O. Ricafort and King Harold A. Recto identified the San Bernardino Strait, San Juanico Strait and Cebu Strait as viable locations for tidal-stream energy systems because of their water current conditions, proximity to population centers and access to electrical grids.
