The original wind farm capacity of 40MW was cut in half to 20MW as stated by the PNOC-EDC (Philippine National Oil Company-
Energy Development Corporation.) The cut was attributed to high set-up cost due to the high price of steel and materials. Compounded also by the fact that they have to construct a 42 km transmission line to feed the power to the National Grid.
Even with the “capacity halving” of the planned wind farm, this is still good news. This means that the government is still pushing through with it’s plans to ween the country off of foreign oil, same with the plans of some Independent Power Producers in the country who are thinking of shifting to coal since majority of the power they produce for the National Grid runs on Bunker Fuel.
