Frequently asked questions

Is there an entrance fee to Bangui Windmills?

No, there is no entrance fee to this attraction.

Are the windmills near the sea?

The turbines face the sea with the prevailing wind blowing into the property. Its position along the coast is ideal, owing to a lack of windbreaks and minimal rugged terrain. The site consists of 20 Vestas Wind Systems which extend 9 kilometers (5.6 mi) across the bay's shoreline. The Philippines location next to the Asia-Pacific monsoon belt is perfect for building wind turbines.
