The Philippine Ports Authority (PPA) has teamed up with the Department of Energy (DOE) to support offshore wind project development by upgrading key port infrastructure. PPA will design and repurpose three priority ports: the Port of Currimao in Ilocos Norte, the Port of Batangas, and the Port of Jose Panganiban in Camarines Norte.
The Port of Currimao is near 13 offshore wind energy service contracts (OWESCs) with a potential capacity of 9,489 MW, while the Port of Batangas is close to 29 OWESCs totaling 24,300 MW. The Port of Jose Panganiban is adjacent to 14 OWESCs with a capacity of 8,150 MW.
