ACEN emerged victorious at the inaugural DOE Sustainable Energy Awards 2024 for its 81-megawatt (MW) North Luzon Renewables (NLR) wind project in Pagudpud, Ilocos Norte.

The awards program aims to honor exceptional efforts in promoting renewable energy (RE) innovation, best practices and impactful achievements.

Recognized under the category of RE projects in on-grid areas, the ACEN project was cited for its outstanding role in fostering a secure, reliable, clean and resilient energy sector.

The wind project currently generates around 205,000 MWh of clean energy annually, enough to power around 50,000 homes and avoid 144,000 metric tons of carbon emissions per year.
