Coastal Renewable Energy Technology Center (CRETC), a renewable energy (RE) training and predevelopment firm in the Philippines, and German wind and solar farms developer Ammonit GmbH have teamed up to provide wind resource assessment products and services to RE firms in the country.
The partnership, according to CRETC Vice President and General Manager Peter Castro, aims to equip the Philippine RE sector with “top-tier wind resource assessment instruments—solutions essential for ensuring accuracy, durability, and reliability across varied environmental conditions.”
“This partnership with Ammonit underscores our shared commitment to building a greener future. By integrating Ammonit’s globally recognized technology with our local expertise, we can empower communities, reduce carbon emissions, and contribute to the nation’s energy security,” Castro said.
The partnership was reaffirmed during the recent celebration of the 35th anniversary of Ammonit in Berlin.
Ammonit, a globally recognized leader in wind measurement and energy assessment, commemorated its decades-long dedication to wind energy innovation with this milestone event. The occasion provided a valuable platform to reinforce partnerships and emphasize the vital role that accurate wind data plays in successful wind energy projects.
The firms stressed the importance of precise and reliable wind resource data particularly in the Philippines where unique geographic and climatic factors affect energy generation. They said that a properly assessed wind potential not only reduces investment risks but also maximizes energy yields for each project, making these instruments vital for informed decision-making.
The collaboration between CRETC and Ammonit, added Castro, also underscored a shared commitment to supporting the Philippine government’s energy transition goals, contributing to long-term sustainable growth, and establishing the Philippines as a competitive player in the renewable energy market.
The country’s target is to hit a 35-percent share of RE in the generation mix by 2030 and 50 percent by 2040.
CRETC is dedicated to developing and deploying RE solutions in the coastal areas of the Philippines. It aims to foster sustainable energy practices and contribute to national and regional energy security.
Ammonit, meanwhile, has pioneered solutions in wind resource assessment. The company offers high-quality products and services for the renewable energy industry worldwide, and its expertise and robust technology solutions make it a preferred partner in the sector.
