Commercial Operation started for 280 MW Onshore Wind Farm in Canada

ACCIONA Energía has announced the start of commercial operations at the 280 MW Forty Mile Wind Farm, located about 50 km southwest of Medicine Hat in Alberta, Canada.

The wind farm features 49 Nordex turbines, each with a capacity of 5.7 MW and a tower height of 108 meters. The wind farm will reduce CO2 emissions by 600,000 metric tons per year, equivalent to planting 25 million trees. It has the potential to be expanded up to 400 MW in a second phase. 

The Onshore wind facility has a direct positive economic impact on the local communities where the project is located. During peak construction, the project created over 200 direct jobs, and it will maintain 25 full-time positions for ongoing operations and maintenance. In addition, the project is expected to contribute more than CAD133 million (US$ 96.18 million) in property tax revenues over its lifetime, benefitting public services and local communities, and it is providing financial support to local non-profit organizations, such as the Bow Island Food Bank, Root Cellar Food & Wellness Hub and the Medicine Hat Women’s Shelter Society.
