Corio Generation has announced that its offshore wind projects in the Philippines have received green lane certification from the Philippine Board of Investments.
“These green lane certifications are crucial for our project development,” said development director Alma Roxas-Aguila.
Earlier this year Corio deployed Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) for the offshore wind projects it is developing in Guimaras and Cavite.
These LiDARs will collect detailed information on the wind resources of two potential wind farms and will remain operational for at least 12 months.
Roxas-Aguila said at the time: “The successful deployment of LiDARs represents a major milestone achievement as we continue to develop our projects off the coast of the Philippines.
“Our campaign to measure the wind resources confirms the progress we have made in bringing forward offshore wind projects for upcoming auctions in the country.”
Corio aims to develop up to five projects totalling 3GW in the Philippines.
