SkyPower currently has multiple wind projects
under development that total over 5500 MW of energy production.
Brief Overview of Selected Projects
Riviere du Loup Wind Project
The park is a wind energy project, that when completed will
comprise a total of 134
interconnected wind turbines which are expected to be generating
electricity at that
facility. With the total capacity of 201 MW and an estimated
average electricity production output of 633.3 GWh per year. The
facility is to be situated on the Southern shore of the St.
Lawrence River and is located within the regional county
municipality of Riviere-du-Loup, Quebec and includes the
municipalities of L'Isle-Verte, Saint-Epiphane, Saint-Arsene,
Paroisse Saint-Georges-de Cacouna and the Village of
Saint-Georges-de-Cacouna. A Hydro-Quebec 230 kV transmission line
passes through the project site. This location also benefits from
the exposure to prevailing winds at an altitude ranging from sea
level to approximately 300 meters above sea level. The site is
accessible using highways, railway lines and the St. Lawrence
River with a deep sea port, and is approximately 10 Kilometers
from the services of Riviere-du-Loup and comprises approximately
17,000 acres, (6,800
hectares) of private land.
Listiguj Project
The Listiguj Project is a partnership created
with the Mig’ Maq First Nation and Genivar Inc. to develop a 200
MW wind park situated in The Gaspesie Region of Quebec. The
project is ideally positioned for proximity to Hydro’s
transmission system and it is positioned on land with exceptional
winds.
Wolfe Island
The Wolfe Island wind power project is a joint
venture for SkyPower with Citizens Energy Corporation of Boston,
SkyCitizens Wind Corp, and GAIA Power Inc. of Kingston. The Wolfe
Island project consists of two developments, a 100mW (Trade Winds
South) and 36MW (Trade Winds North) wind farms. Wolfe Island is
situated just outside of Kingston, Ontario and has some of the
most consistent wind in Canada. The area played host to the
sailing competition during the 1976 Montreal Olympic Games and the
area’s proximity to the US border makes the region very strategic.
The locale also boasts excellent road infrastructure, access to a
water port, and rail lines.
Northern Ontario
SkyPower has created a partnership with a
Northern First Nation to develop a 400mW project on approximately
22,000 acres in the Northern Ontario region. This project is
located on First Nations land.
New Brunswick
SkyPower is reviewing a number of sites in New
Brunswick totaling 300mW in size in four communities: Grand Bay,
Salisbury, Miramichi, and Cap Pele. All four locations have
excellent wind resources.
