The Philippines: Danish renewable energy developer Copenhagen Energy has been granted a grid connection license for a 2 GW floating wind farm in the Philippines’ Northern Luzon region. The system impact study final report was issued by the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP) and the full project capacity has been approved.
The project will be constructed offshore Ilocos Norte province and is one of the three BuhaWind Energy Philippines projects, expected to add a combined floating wind turbine capacity of 4 GW. The other two, Northern Mindoro and East Panay, will be of 1 GW each. Copenhagen Energy is co-developing the projects with PetroGreen Energy Corp under a partnership set up at the end of 2022.
Work on wind farm will proceed with a detailed design and schedule of the future park’s connection to the local electricity network. The wind park is expected to become fully operational in 2030.
The three floating offshore wind projects secured a Green Lane Certificate from the Philippine Board of Investments (BOI) in October, which ensures the projects will undergo a streamlined process of obtaining necessary permits and licenses.
