Nexif Ratch Energy’s 500 MW offshore wind project in PH receives gov’t approval

Another project was awarded the Green Lane Certificate.

Nexif Ratch Energy has announced that its San Miguel Bay Wind Project has been granted the Certificate of Energy Project of National Significance (CEPNS) by the Philippines’ Department of Energy.

In a statement, the company said the CEPNS will help fast track regulatory approvals, ensuring that it can move forward with streamlined coordination across government agencies and local government units.

The 500 megawatt (MW) offshore wind project is located in San Miguel Bay, Camarines Sur.

Aside from this, Nexif Ratch Energy said its Lucena Wind Power Project—a 475 MW offshore wind power development in Quezon Province—has also been awarded the Green Lane Certificate by the Board of Investments. This certificate designates the project as a Strategic Investment, enabling a more efficient process for permits and licenses with both national agencies and LGUs.

The San Miguel Bay Wind Project had previously been awarded the Green Lane Certificate in June 2024.

Currently, the company’s renewable energy pipeline in the Philippines is at 2.5 gigawatts (GW), with 219 MW already in operation and under construction.
