 WIND ENERGY

• The best places for wind

farms are in coastal areas,
at the tops of rounded hills,
open plains and gaps in
mountains - places where
the wind is strong and
reliable. Some are offshore.

TOP WIND ENERGY PRODUCING COUNTRY
• World wind power generation capacity has reached 435
GW at the end of 2015, around 7% of total global power
generation capacity. Global wind power generation
amounted to 950 TWh in 2015, nearly 4% of total global
power generation.
• China has the largest wind energy installed capacity with
145 GW, followed by the United States with 73 GW,

 WIND FARMS IN THE PHILIPPINES

• Philippines now has an operational wind energy capacity

of 400 MW, more than anything other country in
the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN)
region, according to media reports quoting former
Senator Juan Miguel Zubiri, who played an important role
in the passage of Renewable Energy Law of 2008.

SOLAR ENERGY

• In order to generate a
substantial amount of
energy, we have to place
photovoltaic panels of install
solar thermal plants in areas
where sunshine is ample.
 Here are some of the best and the most
suited places to harness solar energy.

• Deserts
• Mountains
• Rooftops
• Highways
