BORACAY ISLAND, Aklan- A 30-megawatt wind power project is expected to rise in Aklan province.
Nearby Nabas town Mayor Romeo Dalisay said that two power producing firms are interested on the project. One of these is reportedly the Petrol Corporation.
"If materialized, this will be the first wind power project in the island of Panay," Dalisay said, adding that the Petrol power firm is nearly finishing its six month feasibility study on the project.
The wind power is expected to boost energy capability of this investment haven resort island.
Currently, Boracay Island gets its electricity from the renewable energy being provided by the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP) and from a coal fired power plant in Iloilo City.
The San Miguel Corporation (SMC) is also exploring possibilities of investing in the said town.
Meantime, a P1 billion polo club is expected to be operational this year in adjacent Nabas town.
