Philippine entity reallocates 90MW for wind

Another 90 MW of wind power.

The Philippines' National Renewable Energy Board proposed this, according to Energy Undersecretary Jay Layug.

But he indicated that the Department of Energy’s proposed installation re-allocation for wind and solar will be at a lower 50 to 60 megawatts.

“DOE is studying whether we can consider re-allocation. In others words, if biomass and hydro allocations will not be completely filled up, we can re-allocate to wind and solar with one basic parameter that the FIT-All of R0.05 per kilowatt hour will not increase,” he said.

Depending on whose numbers will eventually prevail, the proposed wind allocation will likely go up to 260MW or 290MW from what was originally prescribed at 200MW.

Layug noted that the applications lodged with the DOE for run-of-river hydro installations just totaled 118MW for 25 proposed projects out of their 250MW allocation; biomass was just at a fledgling 50MW out of 250MW; while wind reached 374MW from 13 project developers, way above the approved installation of 200MW.
