Philippines decentralized power generation

How efficient is a diesel generator in the Philippines?

The efficiency value for each SIIG was set at 0.35 l/kWh, reflecting the efficiency of modern diesel generators. The diesel fuel price was set to 0.75 USD/l, assumed as the average diesel cost in the Philippines in 2018. The diesel price growth rate is expected to be 3% annually.
