MANILA, Philippines — Singapore-based Levanta Renewables has partnered with Filipino-Swiss firm Triconti Windkraft Group to develop an P8.7-billion wind project in Atimonan, Quezon.
With a potential capacity of up to 100 megawatts, the planned Atimonan Onshore Wind Project is scheduled for commercial operation in 2028.
Upon completion, the project is expected to reinforce the Luzon grid and support the country’s target of expanding the renewable electricity share to 35 percent by 2030 from the current 22 percent.
“The Atimonan wind project reflects our shared confidence in the Philippines’ renewable energy sector and its ability to attract long-term foreign investment,” Levanta Renewables CEO Pramod Singh said.
As a winner in the government’s fourth green energy auction (GEA) round, the wind facility has secured long-term revenue certainty for its power generation output.
“Winning GEA-4 was just the start. Our job now is to make good on that commitment-moving these projects from paper to power,” Triconti president and CEO Lila Rosenberger said.
“Working with Levanta gives us the strength and expertise to deliver efficiently and ensure this wind farm brings lasting benefits to communities while advancing the country’s energy independence,” Rosenberger said.
At present, Triconti has a pipeline of more than four gigawatts of onshore and offshore wind projects in the Philippines. It is also among the first developers to secure offshore wind contracts from the Department of Energy.
Levanta Renewables, on the other hand, operates across the Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam and Malaysia, overseeing several projects at various stages-from development and financing to construction, operations and maintenance.
The company is a Southeast Asia-focused renewable energy platform of UK-based investment house Actis, which earlier sealed a $600-million solar deal with tycoon Manuel V. Pangilinan’s Meralco Group.
“By combining Triconti’s local expertise with Levanta’s disciplined development approach, we are well-positioned to deliver reliable clean power while engaging regulators, local governments and host communities to ensure lasting value,” said Ravi Chandran, Philippines task force head at Levanta Renewables.
