Manila. Following findings from the Department of Environment and Natural Resources Region 6 of PetroWind Energy Inc’s compliance to its various environmental permits for its 13.2 MW Phase 2 project, the Sangguniang Bayan of Malay re-endorsed the project last February 22, 2024.
In response to the requests of Malay SB and Sangguniang Panlalawigan of Aklan to monitor the Phase 2 project and its impact to the environment, several DENR units conducted site inspections and documents review of the project from August 2023 to January 2024. DENR-6 and DENR – Environment Management Bureau confirmed that PWEI’s Phase 2 substantially complied with all environmental rules and regulations.
“If they will commit that proper monitoring will be implemented to ensure that Napaan River will not be affected, then we are okay with Phase 2. This will also greatly help us reach our goal of making Malay into a city,” Casidsid said.
