Philippine offshore wind initiatives gain momentum with President's 'whole of society, whole of gov't approach'
In a significant move to accelerate offshore wind projects, Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. issued Executive Order No. 21 on April 19, 2023. Titled “,” it outlines a comprehensive approach to the development of offshore wind energy, emphasizing collaboration between government agencies and the private sector.
The order initially tasked the Department of Energy with creating a Policy and Administrative Framework within 60 days of issuance. This framework aims to simplify permitting processes and offshore wind leasing fees, utilizing the Energy Virtual One-Stop Shop System to coordinate with relevant government agencies and bureaus.
The “whole-of-government” approach is vital for the successful development of OSW projects in the Philippines, considering the complexities involved. These projects have the potential to address the country’s growing energy needs and reduce reliance on fossil fuels, with an estimated offshore wind total potential of 178 gigawatts .
