beacon to the international ships that enter the Philippine
Archipelago from the north and guide them safely away from the rocky coast of the town.

Kapurpurawan White rock

formation
The Kapurpurawan rock formation is located on
the rocky coast of Burgos, Ilocos Norte. It is

limestone formations, which have been sculpted by
different oceanic and weatherforces. Burgos is

Bangui Windmills
Bangui Wind Farm is a wind farm in Bangui, Ilocos Norte, Philippines. The wind
farm uses 20 units of 70-metre (230 ft) high Vestas V82 1.65 MW wind turbines,
arranged on a single row stretching along a nine-kilometer shoreline off Bangui
Bay, facing the West Philippine Sea.
In 1996, the National Renewable Energy
Laboratory (NREL) conducted a wind resource
analysis and mapping study. It concluded that
various areas in the Philippines are ideal for wind
power installation. These areas include Bangui
and Burgos towns in Ilocos Norte, Batanes and
Babuyan Islands,
which are north of Luzon and the higher interior terrain
of Mindoro, Samar, Leyte,
Panay, Negros, Cebu, Palawan and Eastern Mindanao. The study led to the inception of the wind
farm project. NorthWind Power Development Corp. developed (and maintains and operates) the
project, while Vestas Wind Systems, a Danish firm, supplied
the wind turbine-generator units (WTGs) for the
site, similar to those already found in Denmark. The
project was to have been developed in three
phases.
