PH seen driving wind energy growth

Manila Bulletin

April 24, 2025

The Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC), an international wind industry association, has identified the Philippines as one of the top markets to watch for wind energy growth.

- BY GABRIELL CHRISTEL GALANG

In its 2025 Global Wind Report, GWEC noted that Asia-Pacific (APAC) countries, including the Philippines, Japan, South Korea, and Australia, have demonstrated progress in policies that support the advancement of their wind energy sectors.

However, the report pointed out that the Philippines faces several hurdles that have slowed this growth.

"While collectively these policy advancements strengthen the Philippines’ position as an attractive investment hub for wind energy, the transition from planning to execution is still challenging. Developers often encounter hurdles in both the pre-development and construction phases," the report stated.
