The objective of the government of the Philippines is to provide access to clean and continuous energy supply to all parts of the country for improving the living conditions. [...] The specific conditions of the island are comparable to a large number of islands in the Philippines and in the region. [...] The material and methods section describes the development of the applied household questionnaire, the preparation of the field survey, the implementation of the field survey and the limitations faced during the data collection. [...] Besides the household level the hybrid renewable energy system improved access to health and education since the elementary school now provides computer classes (mandatory for the students of grades four to six) and the services of the health center have improved through continuous access to electricity and new devices, which leads to more security and possibilities for curing and treating disease. [...] We applied a quantitative survey to assess the impact of the provision of sustainable, reliable and affordable renewable based energy access on local development and on the SDGs for the case study island of Cobrador.
