Basic Energy Corporation, a holding company in the Phillipines, is eyeing up the development of a 155 MW onshore wind farm power facility that will straddle sites in San Joaquin and Miag-ao in Iloilo, and also at Hamtic in Antique, which HVDC cables transfer the produced energy to shore.
The company informed the Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE) that it just recently secured the approval of the Department of Energy (DOE) on its wind energy service contract (WESC) application. Based on the project blueprint submitted to the energy department, the planned facility will cover a total land area of approximately 13 932 ha.
Basic have emphasised that the pre-development phase of the project can be concluded within a five-year period, as prescribed under the DOE’s service contract. A preliminary study will have to be carried out by an independent third party.
