The Kalayaan 2 Wind Power Project, fast-tracked under the government’s green lane permitting system, is on track to begin commercial operations by July 2026, according to the Board of Investments (BoI).
The agency also coordinated an inter-agency meeting with local government units, the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH), and the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) to arrange logistics for transporting turbines, towers, and blades from Batangas port to the site.
Upon completion, the PHP10.85 billion project will generate 100.8 MW of clean energy, reducing carbon emissions and supporting the Philippines’ renewable energy and long-term energy security goals. With turbines now on-site, installation and commissioning will begin immediately.
The project, developed by Laguna Wind Energy Corporation, a subsidiary of The Blue Circle, received its green lane endorsement on October 23, 2023, and is expected to create 530 jobs.
