Bangui Windmills, Ilocos NortePosted by Ada on Category: Ilocos Norte, Luzon | 8 Comments |
Bangui Windmills is one of my favorite destinations in Ilocos Norte during our roadtrip. Looking at these windmills at far made us say “WOW.” They are huge, powerful, and modern-looking. Bangui Windmills are considered to be the biggest in Southeast Asia.
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.
