Senator Sherwin Gatchalian on Sunday urged the government to hasten the development of transmission facilities for offshore wind projects to increase the renewable energy sector’s contribution to the country’s overall energy supply.
The on-going large-scale capacities of offshore wind projects, Gatchalian said, highlight the need to enhance the capability of the country’s national grid to accommodate additional supply from RE projects. Such transmission facilities also support a circular issued by the DOE last year which removed limitations on foreign ownership of RE facilities in the hope of attracting more investments.
“There would be no point in removing limitations on foreign ownership if the country’s national grid does not have the transmission facilities that would absorb additional energy output coming from these RE facilities,” he emphasized.
