Grid connection agreements have been secured for three offshore wind projects in the Philippines with a combined planned capacity of 1.65 GW. The projects are the 600 MW Guimaras Strait, the 600 MW Guimaras Strait II, and the 450 MW Frontera Bay, all owned by the same consortium, comprising Seawind Asia, Stream Invest Holdings, and Triconti ECC Renewables (Offshorewind.biz, 25/02/2026).
The agreements set out the technical conditions and transmission requirements for connecting the projects to the Philippine grid. Under the country’s regulatory framework, projects must secure grid connection arrangements before participating in renewable energy auctions.
- The projects are advancing under the Fifth Green Energy Auction (GEA-5), the Philippines’ first auction round dedicated exclusively to offshore wind, launched end of November 2025.
- GEA-5 offers 3.3 GW of fixed-bottom offshore wind capacity, with supply delivery scheduled between 2028 and 2030.
The government aims to increase the share of renewables in the power mix to 35% by 2030 and 50% by 2040. Renewables represent 21% of the mix, of which 9% from hydro, 8% from geothermal, 4% from wind and solar, and 1% from biomass (Enerdata Global Energy Research).
