The Department of Energy (DOE) in the Philippines has approved 19 projects for grid assessment via the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP).
These projects will undergo a system impact study to evaluate grid readiness for new energy connections and identify required upgrades. Seventeen of the approved projects focus on renewable energy, with two involving waste-to-energy and battery energy storage systems.
Notable projects include Vortex Offshore Wind Corporation’s 1,000 MW offshore wind in Mindoro, a 478.2 MWp solar project by North Luzon Green and Sustainable Energy Inc. in Pangasinan, and a 425.3 MWp solar development by Tuy Solar Power Corporation in Batangas. The remaining projects encompass wind, solar, and battery energy storage system (BESS) initiatives to bolster grid reliability across the nation.
