Airstream Renewables Corp., a subsidiary of NexGen Energy Corp., has received government backing for eight renewable energy projects from the Department of Energy (DOE) in the Philippines. This support is part of the DOE’s initiative to integrate more renewable power into the national grid. The projects, which include offshore and onshore wind farms, will contribute to the country’s transition to sustainable power sources.
The projects endorsed by the DOE for system impact studies (SIS) with the National Grid Corp. of the Philippines (NGCP) include:
* 300 MW Sebaste Offshore Wind Farm in Antique and Aklan
* 100 MW offshore wind farms in Mercedes, Capalonga, Mauban, Mariveles, and Dumaguete
* 60 MW Sambong Onshore Wind Farm in Nasugbu, Batangas
* 30 MW Dapdap East Wind Farm in Batangas
These projects are part of Airstream Renewables’ aggressive expansion into renewable energy, which aligns with the Philippines’ commitment to transitioning to sustainable power sources.
The DOE has now endorsed a total of 24 projects to NGCP, including other significant projects such as the Panay Wind Power Project, a 300 MW project by Basic Energy Corp., and a 40 MW Battery Energy Storage System by SN Aboitiz Power-Benguet Inc.
The DOE’s continued approvals reflect the national strategy to enhance renewable energy capacity, aiming to meet rising energy demands while reducing reliance on fossil fuels. The development of these projects will help the country reduce its carbon footprint and move towards a more sustainable energy future.
