Romblon Wind Farm
Romblon, Philippines
The 3583rd largest power station in the world
Romblon Wind Farm is a wind farm in Romblon, Romblon, Philippines. The wind farm uses three units of 41.5-meter (136 ft) high Komaihaltec KWT300 wind turbines erected on the hills of Barangays Agnay, Bagacay and Lonos in Romblon, Romblon. The wind farm is a project of Romblon Electric Cooperative (ROMELCO) and was made possible through a funding grant from Japanese companies Komaihaltec Inc. and Honda Motor Co. Ltd. The wind turbines were erected in 2018 and began operation in 2019. Under the contract between ROMELCO, Komaihaltec Inc., and Honda Motor Co. Ltd., the wind farm will be turned over to ROMELCO in 2023 after a four-year demonstration period. Aside from providing Romblon with a total of 900 kW of electricity, the wind turbines power 100 units of Honda PCX electric scooters that were leased to select townsfolk for PH₱2,000 a month for four years and can be charged in any of the five charging stations set up in the island municipality.
