BHE Canada will break ground on a new wind farm in southeast Alberta in 2020, providing low-cost, clean energy for Albertans. The new 117.6 MW Rattlesnake Ridge Wind project will be located southwest of Medicine Hat and will produce enough energy to supply the equivalent of 79,000 homes.
A large Canadian corporate partner has signed a long-term power purchase agreement with BHE Canada for the majority of the energy output from the Rattlesnake Ridge Wind project.
Privately financed by BHE Canada through a combination of equity and debt, the more than CAD200 million (US$151.3 million) project is under development by RES, which will also provide construction and asset management services. The project is expected to provide approximately 150 jobs at peak construction during the approximately 18-month schedule.
Once the project is complete, the wind farm will generate electricity from up to 28 wind turbines and is expected to provide approximately 475 GWh per year.
Rattlesnake Ridge Wind is expected to begin generating energy for Alberta’s grid in December, 2021.
