Operations started for a 297 MW Onshore wind farm in Canada
EDP Renewables North America has announced that its 297 MW Sharp Hills wind project in Alberta, Canada has become operational. The wind farm is situated in the Special Areas municipality near the Sedalia and New Bridgen hamlets.
The CAD600 million (US$446 million) wind facility will generate enough electricity to meet the annual consumption of more than 164,000 average local homes and save approximately two billion liters of water per year as well as avoiding estimated annual emissions of 700 thousand tons of CO2. TC Energy is the off-taker for the project, the company signed a 15-year Power Purchase agreement in September 2021.
The launch of the project follows an agreement made by EDPR NA when it joined Invest Alberta Corporation (IAC) in signing a memorandum of understanding (MOU) committing both parties’ collaboration in spurring economic growth and high-quality job creation within the renewable energy sector in Alberta.
