Energy Sec. Raphael P.M. Lotilla told prospective global investors eyeing the Philippine offshore wind industry that the DENR will soon be issuing the 'regulatory framework' for the approval of environmental clearance for OSW projects. | ManilaBulletin

As advised by global experts, one guaranteed way of ensuring that offshore wind farm projects are developed and operated in environmentally sustainable manner is to require the conduct of comprehensive environmental impact assessment; and for the project-sponsors to incorporate mitigation strategies into the design as well as operation of the OSW installations.

The energy chief added that the DENR framework “will provide GIS data of protected areas, key biodiversity areas, no build up zones and other relevant GIS information that may or may not have conflict with offshore wind development.” The energy secretary indicated that the DENR “has been working on a regulatory framework for the environmental clearance for OSW Projects, taking into account international sustainable development principles and good practices.”

Throughout the life cycle operation of offshore wind projects, one of the hot topics currently debated globally also is the disposal as well as proposed recycling of wind turbines and its components.
