Renewable Energy - Wind Farms in the Phils.

Ateneo Professor on Entrepreneurship

From Philstar

The Asian Development Bank has provided for a funding of $500,000 to the PHL to build government capabilities for pre feasibility and economic studies on wind power projects.

Earlier US DOE has determined the potential of 76,000 MW capacity through various wind energy projects.  As of todate, only the $50 million a 33 MW project in Bangui Bay Ilocos Norte has been constructed.  Another one, an P8 billion Wind Power Energy System in Puerto Galera is under construction

The DOE will gather data in these areas: Cagayan,  Camarines Norte, and Aklan for wind power projects.  The data will be placed under the care of UP and Ateneo.  EU is also pushing for more renewable energy projects in the country which are mini grids in small islands.

What are the opportunities emerging from this news?

How will this affect global warming and the fossil fuel usage?
