Goldwind Americas, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Xinjiang Goldwind Science & Technology Co., Ltd., has announced that it has secured a firm turbine supply order from Potentia Renewables Inc., a Toronto-based developer, owner, and operator of renewable energy assets.
At the height of construction, the project will employ 220 people to build the wind farm and up to 10 people will be involved in the long-term operations of the project.
Golden South will generate approximately 900,000 megawatt-hours of electricity, eliminating over 500,000 tonnes of carbon from the electricity grid. The carbon reduction is equivalent to eliminating the pollution from half the vehicles in Regina or Saskatoon.
The Golden South Wind Project will utilize 50 of Goldwind's latest wind turbine series, the 4S megawatt platform, which feature a scalable rated capacity from 4.2 to 4.5 megawatts, and 136 and 155-meter rotor diameters.
Under the terms of the deal with Potentia Renewables, Goldwind also entered into an agreement to provide the project with long-term maintenance services and a comprehensive warranty package.
The project is expected to be commercially operational by the end of 2020.
