Giant wind turbines have arrived at the Batangas port for the Kalayaan 2 Wind Power Project, the Board of Investments (BOI) said Monday, marking a key step toward the project’s completion.
The project, which is being developed by Laguna Wind Energy Corp., is expected to generate 100.8 megawatts (MW) of clean energy, which will reduce carbon emissions and help the Philippines meet its renewable energy goals.
The BOI’s One-Stop Action Center for Strategic Investments (OSACSI) registered Kalayaan 2 as a “Green Lane” project, which provides streamlined processes and government coordination to address bottlenecks.
The agency said it worked with the Department of Public Works and Highways, the Department of Environment and Natural Resources, and local government units in Laguna and Batangas to prepare and secure delivery routes for the equipment.
“This timely delivery underscores our commitment to providing clean energy solutions efficiently,” said Miguel Cruz Moniz, chief construction officer for The Blue Circle and project director of Laguna Wind Energy Corp.
“We remain on schedule to complete the Kalayaan 2 Wind Power Project, contributing significantly to the nation’s renewable energy goals,” said Moniz.
The BOI said with the turbines now on-site, installation and commissioning activities are set to begin immediately.
