    [abstract] => This study investigates the profile, environmental impact, economic viability, and optimization strategies of Region 1, Philippines, renewable energy systems. Employing a mixed-methods approach, the research assessed commonly deployed technologies, distribution across municipalities, installed capacity, and supporting policy frameworks. Findings reveal that solar and hydropower are the most prevalent technologies, with deployment concentrated in municipalities such as Burgos, Bangui, San Fernando City, and Candon City. While renewable energy contributes significantly to the region’s energy mix, fossil fuels still account for a substantial share. Environmental lifecycle analysis shows positive stakeholder perceptions, particularly in operational efficiency and emissions reduction, although gaps remain in decommissioning practices. Economically, high initial costs pose barriers, yet renewables are perceived as cost-competitive and financially viable in the long term. The study concludes that comprehensive strategies—including infrastructure development, regulatory reforms, local manufacturing promotion, and broader access to incentives—are essential to optimize renewable energy systems and promote sustainable energy development in Region 1.
