In a statement, the Chinese OEM said it received the order to supply 306MW of turbines for two wind farms Vena Energy is currently developing in the Philippines — the 212.5MW Talim and 93.75MW Sembrano projects in Rizal province east of the capital, Manila.
MingYang said Vena Energy had ordered 49 of its MySE 6.25-172 turbines across both wind farms. Installation is expected at both Talim and Sembrano in 2024.
The Philippines currently has an installed capacity of 443MW, according to “uåX˜äŠÊ˜·³Ç Intelligence, the data and research divison of “uåX˜äŠÊ˜·³Ç. The government aims to greatly expand the country’s wind capacity in the coming years, and is targeting 35% of energy generation from renewables by 2035 and 40% by 2040.
While most of the country’s existing wind farms are onshore, the government also hopes to greatly increase its offshore wind capacity in the coming years to help meet those goals.
A joint 2022 study by the World Bank and the country’s Department of Energy found that the Philippines has an offshore wind capacity of up to 21GW.
