Kalayaan 2 Wind Project: Celebrating Major Milestones in March 2025

Philippines, We're thrilled to announce two significant breakthroughs for the Kalayaan 2 Wind Project this March:

• Successfully completed concrete pouring for our first Wind Turbine Generator (WTG) Foundation

• Safely received and offloaded the first batch of WTG components at Batangas Port

Construction is progressing steadily, keeping us firmly on track toward our project goals as we move into Q2 2025.

These achievements mark pivotal moments in our journey to expand renewable energy in the Philippines. Each milestone brings us closer to delivering clean, sustainable power to local communities and supporting the nation's green energy transition.

The Blue Circle, together with @ACCIONA Energía, extends heartfelt appreciation to our dedicated partners at Bureau Veritas Group, Goldwind, and the entire team working tirelessly behind the scenes. Your commitment to excellence has made these achievements possible.

Together, we're not just building wind turbines – we're constructing the foundation for a more sustainable future.

The Kalayaan 2 Wind Farm, representing an investment of approximately ₱8.7 billion (US$150 million), will feature 17 Goldwind GW165 GW wind turbines, for a total capacity of 100.8 MW. Upon completion in 2026, the facility will generate enough clean energy to power approximately 85,000 Filipino homes while preventing the emission of 320,000 tons of CO₂ annually. This project marks the first phase of the ambitious 350 MW Kalayaan Project, setting a new benchmark for renewable energy development in the region.

The Kalayaan 2 Wind Farm plays a crucial role in supporting the Philippine Government's renewable energy targets, which aim to increase the share of renewables in the energy mix to 35% by 2030 and 50% by 2040.

The Blue Circle together with its partner ACCIONA Energia continue to strengthen its renewable energy portfolio in the Philippines with several projects under development, including the second phase of Kalayaan (249 MW), the Baao Wind Energy Project in Camarines Sur (210.8 MW), and the Ibajay Wind Energy Project in Aklan and Antique provinces (80.6 MW).

ACCIONA Energía, recognized as the world's greenest power generation company for nine consecutive years, brings its global expertise of over 14 GW of total installed capacity to this project. Meanwhile, The Blue Circle, with its portfolio exceeding 2.5 GW of attributable capacity in renewable energy projects under development or construction in the Philippines, is part of the leading clean energy players in the country and is committed to the country's sustainable energy future.
