Palawan as the pilot site

Shell has chosen Palawan as A2E’s pilot site due to its growing demand for energy, being an island isolated from the main grid suppliers in Luzon and with populations scattered in hard-to-reach areas. Because of the high cost of electricity in the province, there is a great need to provide an affordable and low-maintenance power system in remote villages.

Promoting access to energy as a theme within its global social investment portfolio, Shell hopes to continue what it started in Puerto Princesa to other parts of Palawan.
