A global report funded by the United States Trade and Development Agency and Tara Climate Foundation identified three high-potential offshore wind development zones in the Philippines.The RMI , in partnership with Southeast Asia Clean Energy Facility , released the report analyzing the three high potential areas to accelerate OSW development.
The report said Manila Bay and Tayabas Bay have the potential for near-term OSW development, with wind farms using fixed foundation turbines and wind energy service contract leases of less than 300 MW.It said the water surrounding Guimaras province is recommended for near-term development for fixed foundation turbines.
“These zones were chosen for their high wind speeds of greater than 7 meters per second, proximity to major load centers in southern Luzon and western Visayas, areas with relatively shallow water depths that allow for fixed foundation WTG designs for the market’s first projects, and access to deeper areas for floating offshore wind farms,” it said.
“This report explores potential offshore wind power areas for development in the Philippines and identifies specific challenges potentially preventing market readiness for large-scale offshore wind projects,” said Rizkiningayu.
