The company has now connected 14 of the 49 turbines to the grid, corresponding to 80 MW, meaning they are already supplying clean electricity for Alberta. The project consists of 49 5.7MW capacity Nordex wind turbines, each with a tower height of 108 m. With a total installed capacity of 280MW. Upon full energization, the wind farm will generate enough clean energy to power more than 85,000 homes. Electrical commissioning is ongoing, and the wind farm will be fully operational in spring 2025.
