Access roads and foundation pits have already been completed in line with the construction schedule and turbine installation is scheduled for the summer with commissioning of both projects to follow in the autumn of this year.
The projects represent a combined capacity of 14.35MW. Another four projects with a total capacity of more than 90 MW, including the 60 MW White Pines project, are being advanced by a local team of 15 staff based at wpd’s Mississauga office. These projects have all been awarded a FIT Contract by the Ontario Power Authority and are expected to go online within the next couple of years.
“The implementation of our first projects in Canada is a great success story for the local staff and also a significant milestone for the entire wpd group” said wpd board member, Dr. Hartmut Brösamle. “Active in Canada since 2007, we are now harvesting the fruits of diligent work in a challenging market.”
wpd AG is based in Germany and operates both onshore and offshore wind projects in 20 countries around the world. The company has installed around 1,500 wind turbines with a total capacity of 2,500MW.
