The Philippines’ Department of Energy has awarded certificates of confirmation of commerciality to three offshore wind projects in the country, totalling a capacity of 1.65 GW. The projects are being developed by a consortium of Triconti Windkraft Group, Sea Wind Holdings, and Stream Invest Holding.

The projects include the 450 MW Frontera Bay wind power project and the 1.2 GW Guimaras Strait Project Phase I and Phase II (two phases of 600 MW each). The consortium has said they will propose the projects for the Philippines’ first offshore wind auction, which is scheduled for 2025. The projects will all be fixed-bottom technology.

The Philippines aim to bring the share or renewables in the power generation mix to 35% by 2030 and 50% by 2040. Renewables represented 22% of the Philippine’s power mix in 2022, of which 10% from geothermal, 9% from hydro,and 1% each from wind, solar and biomass. The country possessed 427 MW of onshore wind capacity (and no offshore wind) at the end of 2023.
