Maragondon Wind Energy Corporation (MWEC) has announced plans to develop a PHP10.58 billion onshore wind power project in Cavite, targeting commercial operations by December 2028. The 200 MW facility will span 4,941 hectares in the mountainous area of Maragondon and will include up to 36 wind turbine generators. Construction is scheduled to begin in 2026.
The project aims to increase renewable energy supply to the Luzon Grid in line with the Philippine Energy Plan. MWEC stated that the wind farm will help cut the country’s reliance on fossil fuels and contribute to climate change mitigation. The company also expects the project to lower electricity costs and support energy demand growth in the region.
MWEC secured a wind energy service contract from the Department of Energy in 2023, giving it exclusive rights to explore and develop wind resources at the site.
