The Philippines has awarded more than 10.19 gigawatts (GW) of renewable energy capacity under the fourth round of its Green Energy Auction Program (GEA-4), the Department of Energy announced on Tuesday, November 11.
A total of 123 winning bidders will develop the projects between 2026 and 2029, covering technologies including ground-mounted solar, roof-mounted solar, floating solar, onshore wind, and integrated renewable energy with storage systems.
Ground-mounted solar projects account for 4,179.09 megawatts (MW) across the Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao grids, while floating solar projects have a capacity of 2,284 MW, with significant developments planned in Laguna, Pampanga, and Negros. Onshore wind projects are expected to contribute 2,518.29 MW, with installations planned for Quezon, Sorsogon, and several provinces in the Visayas.
Integrated renewable energy projects paired with storage systems were awarded 1,189.29 MW, and roof-mounted solar projects received 24.82 MW.
