The Department of Energy signed two 25-year wind energy service contracts with Mainstream Renewable Power to develop onshore wind projects in Luzon and Visayas with a combined capacity of 440 megawatts .
“Mainstream will be bringing in financial muscle and technological heft to work with our world-class workers throughout the construction and operational phases of all these projects, which means more employment for our people and livelihood opportunities in these areas,” the energy chief said. “The awards of these contracts represent an important milestone for Mainstream as we continue to grow our development footprint across the Philippines. We are committed to the Philippine market and well-placed to be part of the country’s energy transition and assist the government in reaching their targets of 35 percent renewable energy by 2030 and 50 percent by 2050,” Mainstream general manager for Asia Pacific Eduardo Karlin said.
The project’s construction is expected to commence in late 2024, while the commercial operation is expected in 2026.
