wind farm, interesting place, tourist attraction
Bangui Bay Wind Farm (also sometimes called Bangui WIndmills) is located at the northwest tip of the island of Luzon, mostly right on the public beach at Bangui, in the province of Ilocos Norte, Philippines. It was constructed in 3 phases: phase I (2005) consists of 15 NEG Micon NM82/1650 turbines, phase II (2008) consists of 5 more NM82/1650 turbines located to the east of phase I, and phase III (2014) consists of 6 Siemens SWT-3.0-108 turbines located up to 1 km inland (south) of phase I. The combined nominal capacity of all 26 wind turbines is 51 MW.

The Bangui Wind Mills were built by the NorthWind Power Development Corporation to take its share in reducing the emission of harmful greenhouse gases (GHGs) causing global warming and to accelerate the rural electrification of the government.
The windmills, officially referred to as the North Wind Bangui Bay Project, was built to use renewable energy sources, thus reducing the greenhouse gases that cause global warming. The project is the first Wind Farm in the Philippines consisting of wind turbines on-shore facing the South China Sea and considered to be the biggest in Southeast Asia. The project sells electricity to the Ilocos Norte Electric Cooperative (INEC) and provides 40% of the power requirements of Ilocos Norte via Transco Laoag.
Northwind Power Development Corp. runs the Northwind Bangui Bay Project that harnesses wind coming from the South China Sea into electricity that helps light up Ilocos Norte in northern Luzon.
The project has been in operation since 2005, supplying the Ilocos Norte Electric Cooperative (INEC) with around 25 megawatts of power, equivalent to 40% of the cooperative’s power requirement.
Fifteen wind turbines [now 20 turbines, total is not yet confimed], each 70 meters tall, each equipped with three 41-meter blades, rise along a nine-kilometer windswept beach in Bangui. The first of its kind in the Philippines and in Southeast Asia, they have become a tourist attraction.
The project was made "viable" because of a loan by the Danish government.
The Danish government, through the Danish International Development Agency (DANIDA), extended the firm a $29.5-million "mixed credit" or zero-interest loan. The balance of the $48-million initial investment was raised through debt and equity by Northwind Power’s shareholders.
The company has turned a profit since its wind project got off the ground, thanks to the Danish assistance in large part, as well as the appreciation of the peso and attractive tariffs in the past two years.
Wind projects normally become profitable after seven years in operation.
