Wind Power in Simara

[jed]

I hope our LGU would consider the development of a Wind Farm in Simara. It's one of the most practical solution that I can think of so as our kasimanwas could experience 24 hour electricity in the island. The average windspeed in Simara is at around 15.6 miles per hour at 40 m tower height (best is above 13 to 14 mph that makes ours qualified), It'll be best to place the farm maybe in Tanruaw or Alegria.

Let's talk about the cost. For a 1 megawatt farm that should serve 320 households, (were talking here about average users which would mean the figure should increase considering the usage in Simara), it should cost around Php 40 million. That's expensive I know, but that's jus the initial cost anyway. Wind is free remember. I would surmise that it would need a 3 megawatt farm in Simara. That's a Php 120 million investment and would require great pains for our LGU so as to secure a grant for it or so but still I believe it's worth it.

If we could all work together to look for funding for this, it's not impossible. What do you think guys?

Maado kaling imo idea, Jed.

Tamang-tama ka tiyempo, katatapos yang ka inauguration et mga bag-o nak LGU officials sa Simara.

Kabaypa nak ka tanan ay maging marasig nak mag-isip ag magbayduhan et mga tikang ag patikang para sa kaaduhan/kaanduan et Simara ag ato mga kasimanwa, meski magka-iba et partido sa politika;

Tungor reli sa imo naisipan nak Wind Power Project sa Simara for electricity generation, mas maado kung grant ka matatabo; kailangan makahimo ka ato LGU/Municipal Planning & Development Office et feasibility study para maayaman ka tamang locations ag iba pang mga detalye nak dapat muyatan ... (kung sa mataas ay enggwa ka Simara et Anraduon ag Tanro-aw; kung sa patag ay enggwa et San Roque nak lantar laloey pag tag-habagat, ag Alegria … sa tag-amihan; ag, meski Sitio Bantadan sa Ilijan, kung kada-kada sa adlaw-adlaw ka kailangan ag/o Bayagas…, among other choices.

Kababasa yang nako ngasing et article sa Malaya Business Insight nak ka Asia Development Bank (ADB) ay naglaan et about $1 billion to finance small windpower projects, ag ka Philippines ay pilot site.

Ka ADB ay nakikipag-ugnayan sa Department of Finance ag sa National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) for possible partnership in granting loans or grants para sa tiyar et kaling windpower projects.

Bag-o ka mga namumuno sa mga agencies nak kali dahil sa bag-o nak administrasyon kada sa muyat nako ay magiging mabusisi sinra sa pag- review et mga applications for grants.

Kung enggwa et plano ka ato LGU tungor reli ay pwede nak puntariyahon kaling ADB allotment.
Malay nato baka ka Simara ay maging pilot site sa windpower energy generation.

Enggwa ako et nabasa nak report nak sa Ilocos Norte ay maramo ka tiyar et kaling projects, ag feasible economically, technically, and in all other aspects.

Dahil sinsero sa pagserbisyo ka mga nagraraya….!

Mainit ra gihapon sa Simara; how about solar power…?

-----
Kamusta sa ato bag-ong set of local officials;
Ugali nato ka mag-congratulate sa mga nag-raog,
Pero mas makahulugan kung sa 'accomplishment' ka bayos!
