wind power

Fifteen wind turbines, towering 70 meters each spread across the length of the Bangui Bay shoreline, compose the 24-megawatt wind-power plant in Ilocos Norte. The 15 "giant electric fans" were bringing electricity to 40% of Ilocos Norte. It is the first of its kind in Southeast Asia.

Northwind Power Development Corp. started the project in 1999 after meeting Ilocos Norte provincial governor Ferdinand Marcos Junior, who was intent on fixing the patchy and low-voltage power supply to his region which lies on the northern tip of the country's electricity grid.

Marcos was well aware of the potential of wind because his father and former president, also Ferdinand Marcos, ordered a study into alternative energy in the 1970s amid the first global oil crisis. (inq7.net)
