TransAlta announces Blue Trail wind power project

 

The project which will add even more wind power in Canada is expected to come on stream at the end of 2009.

The plans which were announced last week included the intention to design, build, and operate a 66 MW wind power project in Southern Alberta. The project is projected to cost $115 million Canadian. 22 3MW wind turbines will be installed for the project and will supply roughly 29,000 households with clean wind power.


According to Steve Snyder TransAlta’s President and CEO; "Wind power is a key resource for meeting the demand for competitively priced, and environmentally sustainable electricity in the Alberta market,” “This project will be ready to be commissioned by December 2009, which will help alleviate some of the supply concerns in our home market."

"Blue Trail supports TransAlta's drive toward capitalizing on growth opportunities in our core western markets – through the addition of high-quality wind, small hydro, geothermal and co-generation assets to its generation portfolio. The project meets TransAlta’s return thresholds and is consistent with the company's capital allocation plan," he also added.

The wind turbines will come come from Vestas from the middle of 2009. This in addition to the 96 MW Kent Hills wind farm located in New Brunswick.
