Wpd plans wind farm in Philippines

Sunday, August 1 2021

Wind energy – Philippines

Bremen-based project developer and operator of wind and solar farms Wpd is further expanding its wind energy pipeline in the Philippines.

With the Aklan project, an onshore wind farm with 18 Vestas V136 wind turbines with 4.2 MW each is in the planning stage.

Triconti ECC Renewables Corporation, a German-Swiss-Filipino joint venture based in the Philippines, is involved in the project planning and implementation as a cooperation partner.

The wind farm with a total capacity of 75.6 MW is located on the north-western tip of Panay Island. The wind farm is part of a large-scale grid reinforcement and expansion (CNP Backbone Extension) for the islands of Cebu, Negros and Panay. The wind farm will be connected to the grid via a new substation, which is being built by Wpd and Triconti for the grid operator NGCP. At the current planning stage, commissioning is scheduled for the end of 2023.

The project partners are currently in talks to market the electricity generated in the wind farm locally via a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA).
