This research investigates the feasibility of installing wind turbines in Tinawagan Hills, Baao, Camarines Sur, Philippines, to harness renewable energy resources and improve local infrastructure. The primary objective is to utilize the generated electricity to power streetlights, enhancing safety and attracting tourism. The study assesses the wind resource potential of the area through on-site wind speed measurements and analysis of meteorological data. Technical feasibility is evaluated by considering turbine specifications and energy output estimations. Economic feasibility is determined by analyzing capital costs, operational expenses, and potential revenue generation from reduced electricity bills and tourism revenue. The findings will provide a comprehensive evaluation of the project's viability, offering valuable insights into the potential of wind energy for sustainable development in the region and highlighting the synergistic benefits for safety and tourism.
