In this episode, our guest is Alma Roxas-Aguila, a seasoned renewable energy expert with over two decades of experience in the Philippine wind sector. Alma shares her journey from early project development at Alternergy, including involvement in Southeast Asia's first onshore wind farm, to her current focus on scaling up offshore wind. She provides deep insights into the evolution of renewable energy policy in the Philippines, the complexities of the Green Energy Auction Program, and infrastructure gaps in ports and grid that still need resolution. Alma also discusses the environmental considerations, permitting challenges, and emerging workforce needs to support the country's 92 awarded offshore wind service contracts.
