Simply because the power source is free does not mean the resulting electric costs will be cheaper than coal or oil. The reason why coal and oil is cheaper is because coal and oil is a relatively concentrated source of power. For the same reason, electricity from nuclear power is cheaper than solar and wind power.

Note: I am talking about installations big enough to power a few towns, not just a single TV and a couple of LED lights.
Just to add up to the equation both solar and wind requires a huge/massive amount of land to power up a small town/baranggay what more for a whole municipality.

Both systems affects other infrastructure as well, example is for wind - cellular signal and others. Solar, it can increase the whole temperature of the whole town.

Imho, the best system of power plant in the phill is through nat.gas.
