The wind farms—Northern Luzon (2 gigawatts), Northern Mindoro (1 gigawatt), and East Panay (1 gigawatt)—are set to contribute to the country’s renewable energy objectives. These developments aim to enhance energy security, reduce carbon emissions, and create local employment opportunities, aligning with the government’s focus on expanding the domestic renewable energy sector.
A Copenhagen Energy spokesperson stated: “These certificates, issued by the Department of Energy, represent a major milestone as they ensure accelerated timelines and prioritised permitting across various national and local government agencies. It underscores the project’s potential to improve energy security and provide economic, environmental and technological benefits to the country. This recognition highlights the strategic importance of our projects in advancing the country’s renewable energy goals.”
The CEPNS certification facilitates streamlined permitting processes, enabling faster project timelines across government agencies. This milestone underscores the wind farms’ role in delivering sustainable energy solutions while supporting economic and environmental benefits for the Philippines. The projects are designed to leverage advanced floating offshore wind technology, positioning the country as a leader in renewable energy innovation.
BuhaWind Energy Philippines’ initiative reflects a commitment to meeting national energy demands through clean power sources. The 4-gigawatt capacity will significantly boost the Philippines’ renewable energy portfolio, contributing to a more resilient and sustainable energy future. By fostering local job creation and reducing reliance on carbon-intensive energy, the wind farms align with broader environmental goals.
The partnership between Copenhagen Energy and PetroGreen Energy Corporation combines expertise in renewable energy development and local market knowledge, ensuring the projects meet both technical and community needs. The Northern Luzon, Northern Mindoro, and East Panay wind farms are poised to play a pivotal role in the Philippines’ transition to a greener energy landscape.
