13. Bangui Windmill

The Bangui Windmill is not only the first of its kind in Southeast Asia, but it's also right here in Ilocos Norte.

The windmill has 20 tri-blades that 70 meters high, with windmills spread about in an arc formation along the Bangui Bay. It is situated north of Laoag City and about a 45-minute ride.

As a result, Ilocos Norte is one of the few provinces in the Philippines that generates renewable energy. The Bangui wind farm provides for 40% of the Ilocos Norte Electric Cooperative's supply. Additionally, it generates 25 MW of electricity to power up an estimated 108,000 households.
