The power sector in the Philippines accounts for 58% of the country’s overall carbon emissions and will be an important driver of domestic emission reduction efforts to meet national climate and energy targets. Renewables, such as offshore wind, are expected to play a key role in the transition toward a low-carbon energy mix.
The two sectors were identified and selected in consultation with the Philippines Department of Energy (DOE) to accelerate the country’s decarbonisation pathways. Offshore wind can play a key role in helping the country meet its national renewable energy targets.
