What We Do The NorthWind Power Development Corporation (NorthWind) was organized to develop wind power as a renewable, environment-friendly, and economically feasible source of energy in the Philippines.
Located in the northernmost part of the Luzon Island in the Philippines in the town of Bangui, Ilocos Norte, the project sells electricity to the Ilocos Norte Electric Cooperative (INEC) and provides 40% of the power requirements of the province of Ilocos Norte.
Phase I of the NorthWind power project in Bangui Bay consists of 15 wind turbines, each capable of producing electricity up to a maximum capacity of 1.65MW, for a total of 24.75MW.
Phase II, to be completed by June 2008, will add 5 more wind turbines with the same capacity, and will bring the total capacity to 33MW. All 20 turbines will describe a graceful arc reflecting the shoreline of Bangui Bay.
In 2006, the Northwind Bangui Bay Project generated savings in the amount of approximately US$ 1.4 million (PHP 70 million) for the electricity consumers of INEC. |
