PHILIPPINES WIND FARMS

Perhaps the Philippines being an archipelago, a country within the oceans and seas, with 24/7 wind reseource due to sea breeze and land breeze exhange; and due to seasonal occurrence of typhoons, plus the high altitude mountain ranges where wind continuosly blowing, will be the best locations for wind farm projects. Aside from Tidal wave energy development, wide expanse of coastal areas can be treated as best location of wind farms. Although, wind technology is not a new industry, Philippines entered this renewable industry just recently with the Northwind wind farm located in Bangui, Ilocos Norte. Investors around the world are looking into opportunity that may be created by the passage of the Feed-in-Tariff to renewable energy projects here.

This Feed-in-Tariff will make a leverage for sure profit for this RE projects in the Philippines. Once the mechanics is done passing all the barriers of the oppositions and scrutiny of stake holders, investors will start developing RE projects to augment small percent of the power supply requirement  for the Philippine's national grid,but the best thing is it will create employment and advance our technology interms of using renewable enegy. It can be also a good stepping stone for Filipino skilled workers to experience and develop technical know how on this emerging industry.
