LAOAG CITY, Ilocos Norte — Wind
power developers are awaiting confirmation of wind power’s commerciality before
they start developing wind farms in Ilocos Norte.
Department of Energy’s
confirmation will give the green light for developers to move from
pre-development and exploration stage to development and commercial stage.
UPC Renewables managing director
TroelsCarstensen, said his firm’s 550 megawatt-wind project in barangays Balaoi
and Caparispisan in Pagudpud town has been in the exploration stage since 2008.
“Ilocos Norte has the best wind resource in the country,” he said during a
forum on the DoE’s Philippine Energy Plan last week. -- PIA
