Majestic view of the wind farm in Ilocos Norte, around 500 kilometers north of Manila. The 25 megawatt wind farm, owned and operated by Danish firm Northwind, is the first of its kind in Southeast Asia. According to Greenpeace and the Global Wind Energy Council, the Philippines is poised to become the leading wind power producer in Southeast Asia with potential of up 70,000 MW of clean renewable energy from wind. The value of the global market for wind turbines is predicted to expand from the current 8 billion euros to an 80 billion euro market by 2020.

Greenpeace Southeast Asia's campaign against humankind's dependence on fossil fuels exists side by side with the struggle to promote renewable energy. Renewable energy, as the term implies, is power derived from sources that are clean, self-generating and ultimately beneficial to the environment, the communities that host them and to society in general.
Quick clean energy facts:
- Wind
power.
Wind is the world's fastest growing energy source! Wind power can
provide more than twice the expected world energy demand in 2020.
In the Philippines, potential power from wind alone - 70,000-MW
- can meet the country's current energy demand seven times over.
- Solar
power. The Philippines is rich with solar power!
Did you know that energy from the sun that falls on half the land
area of Quezon City can provide the power needs of the entire country
for a day?
- Energy
efficiency.
This refers to the many different ways we can get the same amount
of work done with less energy. It covers energy saving lights, improved
industrial practices, more mass transport systems, efficient cars,
riding bikes more than riding cars, better building insulation and
so on and on and on. Since saving energy and saving money often
amount to the same thing, energy efficiency can be highly profitable
on top of protecting the environment.
