Acciona and Freya can explore and develop the wind farm in a predetermined area within the municipality of Pantabangan, 150km north of the Philippines’ capital, Manila.

The project is part of the South East Asian country’s aim of developing renewables to replace its dependence on imported fossil fuels. It has set a target to increase the share of renewables in the national energy mix to 35% by 2030 and 50% by 2040.

Acciona has been present in the country since 2016, operating through its water and infrastructure divisions. It has developed projects including the Cebu Cordova Link Expressway, the DWTP [drinking water treatment plant] Putatan II and the DWTP Laguna Lake.

Developed by Renewable Energy Systems Canada, the wind farm is expected to become operational in the first quarter of 2025.

It will be powered by 49 Nordex turbines and will be one of Acciona’s largest wind farms in North America.

It will have the potential for a second phase expansion to raise its capacity by 400MW.
