The Philippines’ Department of Energy (DOE) has approved an increase in the registered capacity for the Tanay Wind Power Project, now set to produce up to 128 MW, up from its initial 112 MW capacity.
This approval enables Alternergy Tanay Wind Corporation, a subsidiary of Alternergy Holdings Corporation, to install 16 wind turbines, each with an 8 MW capacity, marking the largest onshore wind turbines to be installed in the country. The project has secured financing of approximately PHP8 billion and will become Alternergy’s second wind facility in the region, complementing the operational 54 MW Pililla Rizal Wind Farm. Construction for the expanded project began in June 2024, with commercial operations expected to commence by the end of 2025.
