The company has secured wind energy service contracts for the sites, each of which has a capacity between 1.5GW and 3.5GW.

The Philippines Department of Energy and the World Bank Group released a road map for the development of offshore wind in the country in April 2023.

This highlighted the potential to install 21GW of offshore wind power by 2040, while the total technical potential for offshore wind stands at 178GW.

The company has been exploring the development of floating wind to tap this potential. It aims to leverage its expertise in the floating wind sector and its global experience to develop projects along the country’s coasts.
