Construction of the Largest Wind Farm in Southeast Asia

150MW BURGOS WIND FARM
EDC Wind Power Corporation

A timelapse documentation prepared for Energy Development Corporation (EDC). However, this presentation represents the author's own edit. It is not the approved version of EDC.

Featuring 50 units of Vestas V90 3MW wind turbines. Commissioned last November 5, 2014. The estimated cost for the construction of the wind farm was US$450 million.

Coverage commenced from the arrival of turbine components last October 2013, with the blades, nacelles and tower segments arriving at Omnico Port, Ilocos Norte. These parts were later transferred to Burgos through barging. Significant stages of the construction were covered: from Foundation Preparation up to Tower Erection.

Hundreds of thousand still shots taken using CANON 5D Mark3 with various Canon lenses. It also utilized a proprietary Long-Term Timelapse set with a camera in a metal enclosure shooting continuously at location.

I came here because I realized I hadn't actually seen turbines in operation, actually spinning. (There aren't any near me. I'd only ever seen photographs.) And now I'm adding this to my favorites. This was really exciting. A lot of work went into artfully and exhaustively recording a lot of work by everyone involved in the construction of this plant. Huge congratulations and thank you for helping the world move to vastly improved energy technology.

So proud of my brother for being one of the architect building this project

Ang ganda. It's a serious project at talaga naman napapakinabangan ng mga pinoy. I hope the use of renewable energy will replace na sa mahal na kuryente.

Hopefully the entire Philippines will have this so that the shortage of electricity will be stabilized. The Philippines 🇵🇭will be great again💪❤😇

Galing nman iba tlaga pg tatak Marcos..Mabuhay!!!

[tamarabrennan]

This is good for the people because it is not fossil fuels. Thank you for showing us. It was beautiful to see how they built it. (Niki age 10)

Tatak Marcos talaga...thanks to our Father of Renewable Energy Sir Ferdinand Bongbong R. Marcos Jr.

sen.bong bong walang dudang marcos he got his fathers genuenity!' vote for him surely dami magagawa nyan!

The first windmill was inaugurated in Bangui by BBM when he was a governor. He was also responsible too to making this project possible that would supply 40% demand for electricity in Ilocos Norte. Not just windmills but the solar power farm that would harness the heat of the sun. Let's be thankful for we have a man that would help us out of the hardship brought on by the prices of crude oil.

Simple, helpful, reliable and eco friendly. Amazing technology.

Good job Philippines! Now you need to repeat this 100 times and build storage to go with it. Add some 3rd generation geothermal to go with it. (AGS from Canadian company Eavor)

wow engineering at its best, awesome filming

[charizarizabal]

GREAT project!! GO GO GO ILOCOS NORTE, umaasenso na tayo!

[rubielyntuazon]

Naalala ko sa sinabi noynoy about sa windmill "pano kung walang hangin?" 🤣🤣 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

[maharlikanstvchannel]

Pag Marcos talaga may malasakit at totoong seryoso kung maglingkod sa Sambayanang Filipino! #God bless the Philippines 👊👊👊

OF COURSE, IT WAS BBM's PROJECT !

I am talking about the famous Bangui Windmills in Ilocos Norte which anti Marcos group falsely and maliciously claimed was not BBM’s project.

In their so called "fact check" posts, they claimed this without bothering to check the origin and eventual implementation of the project that the same was done by a private company - NorthWind Power Corporation. Of course, Northwind was the project developer but they should have dug deeper to inform their readers that the project was essentially a kind of public-private partnership set up in the 1990s during Bongbong Marcos’ second term as governor of the province.

It was he who broachedthe idea for the local electric cooperative, INEC, to issue a “ take off” document (a kind of power purchase agreement) to ensure the usage of the plant’s output. It was also BBM who got the DENR and the other government agencies to assist in securing the leases on the project site involving 28 huge windmills, fast track permitting, securing the areas and otherwise ensuring that the project gets implemented in the soonest possible time. It was also BBM who assured the project developers and the Danish government who provided the grants and low-interest loans as well as the supplier, VESTAS, that everything will be properly and responsibly handled to set up Southeast Asia’s first wind farm.
In short, he was not only present at the project’s establishment. He was, for all intents and purposes, the proponent.
Renewables and energy development have always been one of BBM’s advocacies.The initiative to precisely harness the province’s renewable resources was originally stated and affirmed in the Provincial Development Plan which was completed with assistance from various national and international agencies during BBM’s first term as governor from mid 1982-February 1986.

Looks like an incredible way to produce energy.

You got a video reccomended of a windmill getting destroyed and this was the next video

That POV at 2:30 is insane! Great work on the whole project
