Philippines Onshore Wind Energy Market Challenges and Innovations
Philippines Onshore Wind Energy Market
The Philippines’ onshore wind energy market is in a developmental phase, with significant potential to support the country’s renewable energy goals. As an archipelago with diverse geography, the Philippines offers numerous high-wind-speed locations suitable for wind farm development, particularly in regions like Ilocos Norte and Rizal. Wind energy is a strategic component of the Philippines' National Renewable Energy Program (NREP), which aims to increase the share of renewables in the energy mix to 50% by 2040.
Private sector involvement, supported by government incentives like feed-in tariffs and tax exemptions, is driving market growth. The Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) has also introduced measures to streamline permitting processes and enhance investor confidence. Challenges persist, including regulatory bottlenecks, grid constraints, and financing hurdles. However, international partnerships and foreign direct investment are addressing these issues, paving the way for accelerated development.
Advancements in wind turbine technology tailored for tropical conditions, coupled with increased awareness of renewable energy’s role in climate resilience, are driving growth. The market is expected to play a vital role in the Philippines’ efforts to diversify its energy portfolio and reduce dependence on imported fossil fuels.
According to MRFR analysis, Global Onshore Wind Energy market is expected to register a CAGR of ~ 4.03% from 2024 to 2032 and hold a value of over USD 82.59 billion by 2033. Onshore wind energy refers to the generation of electricity from wind turbines located on land, as opposed to offshore wind farms situated in bodies of water. It is one of the most mature and widely deployed renewable energy sources worldwide. Onshore wind farms consist of multiple wind turbines strategically placed in locations with favorable wind conditions.
