Offshore Wind Infrastructure Development Support in the Philippines

Palladium, as the delivery partner for the UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) funded UK Partnering for Accelerated Climate Transitions (UK PACT) programme, invites qualified suppliers and consortia to submit proposals for developing offshore wind port infrastructure in the Philippines. Context: The Philippines is expanding offshore wind capacity to meet renewable energy targets, with major auction rounds anticipated to unlock significant deployment. Critical infrastructure—particularly ports for construction, staging, installation, and operations—is essential to support this growth. While initial assessments by partners like the Asian Development Bank (ADB) and Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC) have examined public ports, the scale of planned development requires additional private sector port capacity and investment. Opportunity: UK PACT, in collaboration with the Department of Energy (DOE) and other agencies, seeks to address the gap in private offshore wind port development by supporting investment-ready, technically viable, and commercially sound solutions aligned with DOE deployment timelines. Deliverables: This two-phase engagement includes: - Phase 1: Establish private sector participation foundations by developing a Private Offshore Wind Port Development Framework, drawing on UK expertise, and identifying and prioritizing suitable port locations (including South Mindoro and Negros Occidental) based on technical suitability and readiness. - Phase 2: Conduct detailed technical and commercial feasibility assessments of three shortlisted sites, covering infrastructure requirements, cost and financial analysis, environmental and regulatory considerations, and market validation. To Apply: Review the RFQ documentation (Schedule 1-3 and Annexes I-II) and submit your proposal by the stated close date and time, following all submission instructions.
