TransAlta Renewables has announced that the 17.25 MW expansion of the Kent Hills wind farm in New Brunswick, located in eastern Canada, is now fully operational, bringing the total generating capacity to 167 MW.

The expansion is located on approximately 20 acres of Crown Land and consists of five Vestas V126 turbines. Kent Hills is located about 55km southwest of Moncton, in the southeastern section of Elgin Parish in Albert County, New Brunswick.

Construction began in April 2018, achieving completion in under six months. Natural Forces Technologies Inc., a wind-energy developer based in Atlantic Canada, co-developed and co-owns the wind farm with TransAlta Renewables.

Under the 17-year power purchase agreement, New Brunswick Power receives both energy to the province's electricity grid and renewable energy credits.
