CIP delivers first power from 495 MW onshore wind project in Canada
Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP), on behalf of its Copenhagen Infrastructure IV (CI IV) fund, has delivered the first power from the 495 MW Buffalo Plains onshore wind farm to the Alberta grid.
The first turbine on Buffalo Plains was installed in April 2024 and more than a third of the wind turbines are currently installed. Once fully operational, Buffalo Plains will consist of 83 turbines, providing clean energy to approximately 240,000 households in Alberta. The project is being delivered in collaboration with Siemens Gamesa and Borea Construction. Completion of the remaining installation work is expected in Q4 of 2024 followed by a full grid connection.
Buffalo Plains is an important part of the 29 GW+ portfolio of renewable generating assets – including onshore wind, offshore wind, solar PV, battery storage, pumped storage hydro, and transmission – that CIP has in development, construction, or operation across North America.
