Alternergy Tanay Wind Corp. (ATWC) announced Friday the arrival of the first shipment of wind turbine generators (WTGs) for its 128-megawatt (MW) Tanay Wind Power Project in Rizal province.
The shipment, which includes 12 90-meter wind blades and other components, arrived via ocean barge at ATWC’s newly constructed jetty at Dinahican Port in Infanta, Quezon.
The turbines, supplied by Envision Energy, are described as the largest to be deployed in the Philippines, each with a capacity of 8 MW.
Each turbine has a rotor diameter of 182 meters, roughly the length of a football field. Once installed, the towers will reach a height of nearly 200 meters, comparable to 60-story buildings like RCBC Plaza or Ayala Triangle Gardens North in Makati City.
“This achievement underscores our commitment to promoting a cleaner, greener future for the Philippines,” said Knud Hedeager, president of Alternergy Wind Holdings Corp.
“We are proud to contribute to the country’s energy transition and help secure long-term energy independence for the Philippines through renewables. We are excited to see this project take shape and make a real, lasting impact on the country’s energy landscape,” said Hedeager.
The initial shipment marks the beginning of a new chapter in the Philippines’ pursuit of sustainable energy. Another six to seven shipments are expected in the coming months to complete the project’s full capacity.
The Tanay wind project is targeted for completion by the end-November 2025. It is one of five renewable energy projects under construction by Alternergy Holdings Corp., as part of its “Road to 500 MW” capacity goal by 2026.
