Financing the offshore Wind revolution:
Risk-Sharing Mechanisms for a sustainable Energy future in the philippines

This finance paper lays out a landmark risk analysis for offshore development in the Philippines, focusing on how policy, contract design, and tariff structures can unlock long-term investment. Drawing from global experience and position from the formed PH OFW technical working group, the report outlines mechanisms to balance risks between developers and the state—such as indexation, lender step-in rights, and streamlined permitting coordination.
Effective risk-sharing for Philippine offshore wind sector depends on a coordinated approach among all stakeholders: government, developers, ECAs, DFIs, and MDBs, commercial banks, insurers, impact investors and philanthropies. Together, this ecosystem distributes risks more equitably, making OFW projects more bankable and accelerating the country’s transition to clean energy.

Key Findings
Key Recommendations include:
- Enhancing Public Sector Financial Participation in OFW Projects
- Maximizing parallel processes through high coordination of OFW related activities across National Government Units
- Improving financing packages and project bankability through better risk-sharing frameworks between public and private stakeholders
