With this partnership, the state-run ports regulator will lead the detailed engineering designs to upgrade the facilities to ensure that they could handle the installation, commissioning and operational requirements of OSW projects.

"The modernization of port facilities will not only accelerate OSW projects but also play a critical role in securing the country's clean energy future and promoting economic growth," Energy Secretary Raphael Lotilla said.

Given their proximity to high-potential wind energy service contracts, the Currimao port in Ilocos Norte, the Port of Batangas and the Jose Panganiban port in Camarines Norte have been identified as critical to OSW development.
