Wind Farm in California



Rizal Philippines   | November 27, 2014

By this time you would have noticed the tarp signs announcing the soon to be inaugurated wind farm at Bugarin, Pililla.  There are 27 in all. The new roads being built lead to the Wind farm with 67.5 mW capacity

This is the first wind farm to be financed by FIT (Feed in Tariff) and aptly called #PilillaWindfarm Project.  It was financed locally with BDO as the lead underwriter for $130 million with a term of 12.5 years.   This reflects the local bank's confidence in renewable energy.  The project broke ground last June 2012 and expected to be operational late 2014.

It is a joint project of a company founded by Fmr Secy Vincent Perez and Kepco and Meralco PowerGen

The power output from the Pililla Windfarm project is priced at P8.53/kwh

Thanks Lord that it did not rain anymore today.  So we had our PE - trek to Marian Hills today.

We had it as scheduled  -  4 of our staff and myself.   There were about 20 MTBs who went up to the antenna.   2 had large tires;  I know some of them but the most notable was  Ace of BDO.  It was noticeable that he had fair skin, and Mike Francisco.

There is about 200 meters of road that is paved.  The rest are still rugged and you can still fall if you hit a stone or gravel (if you ride a roadie)

I would have practiced well for our Caliraya ride because I tried going up and down the paved portion 5x.  See you tomorrow..
