Third OECD-DOE Workshop: Unlocking finance and investment in offshore wind power and energy efficiency in public buildings in the Philippines, 6-7 March 2024, Makati, Philippines
3. 3
Four sites with 7.6 GW potential capacity for floating offshore wind
BlueFloat Energy has been actively exploring the development of offshore wind in the
Philippines since end of 2021. Following a comprehensive site assessment exercise, four
offshore WESCs (Wind Energy Service Contract) have been secured.
• The Philippines have world class offshore wind resources with a potential of 21GW of offshore wind by 2040
according to the World Bank Group roadmap issued in April 2022 (high growth scenario).
• BlueFloat Energy has secured 4 offshore WESCs in the following regions: Northern Luzon, Central Luzon, South
Luzon & Southern Mindoro which were identified by the World Bank Group.
• Offshore wind is the only technology that can deliver the scale of renewable energy required to meet the
Philippines’ decarbonization goals (35% of the overall generation mix by 2030 & 50% by 2040; and
moratorium published in 2020 on new greenfield coal-fired power plants).
• BlueFloat Energy has been actively engaging with the Philippine Department of Energy to provide support in
shaping the future offshore wind regulatory framework, leveraging on the expertise gathered from other
markets (Europe, APAC,…)
