About Guimaras Windmills
Set against the rolling hills and coastal landscapes of San Lorenzo, the Guimaras Windmills, also known as the San Lorenzo Wind Farm, have become an iconic attraction on the island. These towering turbines not only provide clean energy but also add a dramatic backdrop to Guimaras’ natural beauty. With rows of windmills stretching across the horizon, the site offers a unique mix of sustainability, modern engineering, and breathtaking scenery that draws both tourists and photographers.
This stunning Guimaras Windfarm has 27 gigantic wind turbines that harness electricity from the wind. The sea surrounds the island, so it’s a perfect location for renewable energy because of its breeze. According to Kuya Ken, the harnessed energy is transported to Iloilo City via cables submerged in the water.
It was my last destination on my solo backpacking in the province. There’s a registration, but no entrance fee. While watching how the turbines rotate, we also discussed the proposed bridge connecting Guimaras to Iloilo; however, it was rejected because it could damage living underwater creatures. By the way, Bangui Windmills is the most prominent wind farm in the Philippines, and it has attracted a lot of tourists to Ilocos Norte. Also, just recently, I featured the Pililla Windfarm in Rizal.
A visit to the Guimaras Windmills is more than just a sightseeing stop—it’s a chance to appreciate how nature and technology work hand in hand. Standing beneath these towering structures while taking in panoramic views of the island makes the experience both inspiring and unforgettable. For travelers exploring Guimaras, the windmills are a symbol of progress and a must-see destination that captures the island’s unique charm.
