It’s fascinating that Philippines has this kind of renewable energy resources. It sells 40% electricity to Ilocos Norte and is contributing to reduce the greenhouse effect which causes global warming.
Can you imagine how simple life is in Ilocos Norte? Fifty percent energy consumption of SM Megamall is the whole energy consumption in Ilocos Norte.
Each windmill has 236 meters apart on shore. These beautiful structures has 41 meters blade and the its height is roughly equivalent to a 23-storey building.
I hope our government should provide more renewable energy in different parts of the country and reduce the frightening greenhouse effect which causes global warming.
Huge right? We are lucky to see these 20 beautiful windmills in Bangui, Ilocos Norte. We can’t explain the feeling when we first saw these windmills. We just expressed it by jumping for joy and appreciating the scenery.
The 15 windmills of Bangui are visible from the highway on the way to Pagudpud. We've been told that seeing it from afar is not enough. One was to get close to appreciate these wonderful structures. And that we did the very next day. Hiring a tricycle from our resort to the windmills took about an hour (by private of course travel time can be cut in half). As we neared the windmills, they got bigger and better. By the time we reached the beach, we were greeted by this humongous white structure - all 70 meters of it. I can't help but be at awe at the windmill... and the other one... and the other one... 15 of them lined up on the shore.
The tricycle driver, who also served as our tour guide told us that the windmills were built by the NorthWind Power Development Corporation to provide power to the surrounding villages. Each windmill is 70 meters high, and its blades are 41 meters long. Truly a sight to behold!
