Alternergy Holdings Corporation has announced that the first batch of turbines for the Tanay Wind Power Project has arrived.

According to Alternergy, the shipment, which includes twelve (12) 90-meter wind blades and other components, arrived at Dinahican Port in Infanta, Quezon.

“With a total planned capacity of 128 megawatts (MW), the Tanay Wind Power Project is set to be a major contributor to the nation’s renewable energy portfolio. Each of its turbines, the largest to be deployed in the country to date, has a capacity of 8 MW,” the company said.

Supplied by Envision Energy, each turbine features three 90-metre-long blades, each roughly the length of a football field, creating a wide rotor diameter of 182 meters.

The Tanay Wind Project is one of five renewable energy projects under construction by Alternergy to reach its goal of 500 MW capacity by 2026.
