Background

This guidebook or ‘compendium’, captures the overall permitting process for developing Offshore Wind (OSW) in the Philippines. It is intended to be an industry tool which helps agencies, project developers and other stakeholders to understand and navigate the complex permitting process across the project lifecycle for OSW. Information in this guidebook has been verified and updated as of January 2025; while the permitting system may evolve, this guidebook provides an essential resource for OSW project owners and regulatory bodies alike. 

Under applicable rules, the Renewable Energy (RE) Registrar is mandated to issue a Preliminary Renewable Energy Certificate (REC) Statement no later than forty-five (45) calendar days after the end of an RPS Compliance Period, and a Final REC Statement no later than ten (10) working days after the last day of an RPS Compliance Period, while RPS Mandated Participants are required to surrender their RECs within one (1) year from the last day of an RPS Compliance Period.

The Department of Energy would like to invite the interested participants to the upcoming virtual public consultation on the GEAP Guidelines Amendment.
