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.
