Wind Energy Gains Momentum in South Luzon, Philippines

Published: April 11, 2025 | By: LV33 Global Environment Desk

The Philippines is making significant strides in its renewable energy transition as new wind power projects take shape across South Luzon, particularly in the provinces of Batangas, Laguna, and Quezon.

🌬️ Wind Farms on the Rise

Energy developers have begun installing wind turbines in select high-altitude locations, with early projects expected to generate over 250 megawatts of clean electricity by mid-2026. The effort is part of a larger initiative to reduce the country’s carbon dependence and meet long-term climate targets.

💬 Support from Local Communities

Barangays in Quezon and Batangas have welcomed the wind projects, citing job creation, infrastructure improvements, and sustainable tourism as key benefits. Several LGUs have partnered with green energy firms to help facilitate smooth implementation.

🌍 International Interest

Investors from Denmark, Japan, and Singapore have expressed interest in co-developing wind farms in the region, citing Luzon’s favorable wind speeds and geographic diversity. The Department of Energy has called the South Luzon corridor “a promising frontier for wind development.”
