Three offshore wind power projects in the Philippines, with a combined target capacity of 1,650MW, have secured their Certificates of Confirmation of Commerciality (CoCoC) from the Department of Energy (DOE).
The projects are being developed by a consortium that includes Triconti Windkraft, Sea Wind, and Stream Invest. The 450 MW Frontera Bay Wind Power Project is situated off the coasts of Cavite and Bataan. The 1,200 MW Guimaras Strait Projects I and II are located between Panay and Negros Occidental. With the CoCoC, these ventures move forward from initial feasibility assessments to the detailed planning, construction, and production stages. The projects were first awarded Offshore Wind Energy Service Contracts between 2020 and 2021.
