Slow but sure progress
The Department of Energy has awarded wind
energy projects that sum a potential capacity of
1379.9 MW for Luzon, and 2381.50 MW for Visayas
as of June 30, 2017.

(Operational capacity on January 2016 was 400

MW for the country)
What fueled developer interest?

In December 2008, the Philippines

enacted Republic Act (RA) No. 9513,
also known as the Renewable
Energy Act of 2008.

In 2012, the Energy Regulatory

Commission adapted the Feed-in
Tariff scheme and made RE plants
priority purchases.
Philippines leads in wind energy in ASEAN
Since 2015
The Philippines stopped awarding FiT to wind
projects after its capacity quota was full by
end of 2015. The much-awaited Renewable
Portfolio Standards policy is delayed and is
now expected only in 2018, without which it is
difficult to implement a wind project in the
country.”
Solar seemingly more economical

Given the rapid development of solar

energy technology, prices have been
inevitably driven down.

They are more practical, initial costs

are lower, they are easier to employ
even in small scale, and they do not
contain mechanical moving parts.
Wind Turbines still have a place in the Philippines

Southeast Asia Energy Outlook points The high number of awarded TiF
out offshore wind turbines as Contracts are indicative of developer
technology with much underutilized interest - and of a thriving industry.
potential.

Winds off- shore

are steadier, stronger.
