The company, which holds office in Bremen, would be spending P400 billion for the projects that would potentially be located in Cavite, Batangas, Negros Occidental and Guimaras.
“Wpd’s investment accounts for around 78 percent of the total BOI-approved projects as of April 2023. For the first quarter of 2023, 91 percent of all the total approved foreign investments into the Philippines were accounted for by Germany,” the DTI said in a statement. During the same meeting with wpd, Energy Assistant Secretary Mylene Capongcol touted the government’s online system of streamlined permitting process called Energy Virtual One-Stop Shop System.
