Government Invests In Canada's Largest Wind Energy Project

The Prince Wind Energy Farm, situated on 20,000 acres of land northwest of Sault Ste. Marie, qualified for the one cent per kilowatt-hour incentive under the ecoENERGY for Renewable Power initiative. The wind farm's 126 turbines are capable of generating up to 189 megawatts of clean, renewable power, enough to power nearly 40,000 homes. Over ten years, this ecoENERGY program will provide about $53 million to the wind project and ensure that renewable energy generated at the wind farm can be delivered at competitive prices for Canadian consumers. "As a global renewable power company based in Ontario, we are proud to be the developers of Canada's largest wind energy farm. The approximately $400-million project took a little over twelve months to construct and has now been generating clean renewable energy for the past year," said Mr. Goldgut. "The project's success is a tribute to the members of the local community, the First Nations community, our employees and construction partners, and the federal, provincial and municipal governments and their agencies." ... http://www.nrcan.gc.ca/media/newsreleases/2007/2007114_e.htm
