NorthWind Power Development Corp. has secured regulatory approval to build a point-to-point energy transmission facility that will connect its 51.9-megawatt (MW) Bangui Bay wind farm to the Luzon grid. READ:
In a decision promulgated last week, the Energy Regulatory Commission said it had authorized the company to develop the limited transmission line that will connect its project to the 69-kilovolt bus at the Laoag substation to the National Grid Corp. of the Philippines .
NorthWind owns and operates the wind project located at Bangui, Ilocos Norte. The wind farm is composed of 26 wind turbines, which were developed in three phases. Construction for the first phase began in May 2004 while commercial operations started in June 2005. It is connected to the Luzon grid via a direct connection to NGCP’s Laoag substation.
The project’s third phase involved the construction of six 3.15-MW 3.0 108 DD Siemens wind turbine generators, further increasing the wind farm’s capacity to 51.9 MW. It started commercial operations in October 2014.
