A renewable energy project in Barangay Socsocon, Leyte, integrates solar and hydropower to illuminate five streetlights along a vital road. The system generates 235 watts, with 70% from solar power and 30% from hydropower, utilizing a mini-hydro turbine to harness energy from an irrigation canal while preserving agricultural use.
The project, developed by students from Eastern Visayas State University, was formally handed over to local authorities with a total investment of P60,000. This initiative aligns with EVSU's objectives to promote community engagement and aims to contribute towards its goal of becoming a National University for Resiliency and Climate Action by 2040. It highlights the potential of local renewable resources to improve community safety and sustainability.
