PHILIPPINES - The awarded wind farm is expected to be completed and start operations by the first quarter of 2024.

Siemens Gamesa has announced that they have secured a new deal with ACEN CORPORATION (ACEN), to supply 14 units of turbines in the Philippines following the country's first round of renewable energy auctions. 

According to Siemens Gamesa, the awarded 70 MW Capa wind farm, located in Caparispisan, Ilocos Norte province, is expected to be completed and start operations by the first quarter of 2024. Siemens Gamesa also secured a contract to provide five years of operation and maintenance services for the wind project. 

"It is encouraging to see an increased political commitment in the Philippines to boost wind power to enhance energy security and protect the environment. We're pleased to strengthen the partnership with ACEN to develop more wind power in the Philippines, which accounts for just 1% of electricity production, while the target is to achieve 9% by 2030 and 13% by 2035. Together with our partners, we will help to unlock the full potential of wind," said Mart Huismans, sales head of Siemens Gamesa in Southeast Asia.
