The Centennial Wind Power Facility in Saskatchewan was the first wind farm in Canada to have a capacity of at least 100 MW upon completion in 2006. [1] Since then numerous other wind farms have surpassed the 100 MW threshold, most often through the expansion of existing wind farms. All but two of Canada's provinces or territories are home to at ...
This is a list of operational, offshore wind farms in the North Sea.

The name of the Wind Farm is the name used by the Energy Company when referring to the Farm and is ...
Wind power has a history in Canada dating back many decades, particularly on prairie farms. As of December 2021, wind power generating capacity was approximately 14,304 megawatts (MW). Combined with 2,399 MW of solar power generating capacity, this provided about 6.5% of Canada's electricity demand as of 2020. [ 1 ]
Seigneurie de Beaupré is composed of three adjacent wind farms that operate as single unit. Wind farms 2, 3, and 4 are under the co-ownership of Boralex and Gaz Métro while the "Côte-de-Beaupré" wind farm is co-owned by Boralex and the La Côte-de-Beaupré Regional County Municipality. The wind farm complex has undergone multiple expansions ...
Manitoba Hydro has a 25-year power purchase agreement with Algonquin Power Income Fund, which owns and operates the wind farm. The Danish-built turbines are designed to operate on wind speeds between 12.6 and 90 kilometres per hour (8 and 56 mph). In very cold weather, −33 °C (−27 °F) or lower, the units are shut down.
The wind farm is located on the shores of Lake Huron in Huron-Kinloss Township, approximately 220 kilometres west of Toronto and 140 kilometres north of London. [1] The project is expected to have the capacity to generate enough zero-emission electricity to power 24,000 homes and offset approximately 66,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide annually.
The power plant uses 60 Siemens Wind Power 2.3 megawatt turbines, model SW2.3-101; these were the first turbines sold by Siemens in Canada. [3] The plant covers about 125 square kilometres west of Highway 75, around the community of St. Joseph, Manitoba. Energy is sold to Manitoba Hydro through a 27-year purchase agreement. [4]
The wind farms generates 230 MW of electricity and is the second largest wind farm in Ontario by installed capacity after Henvey Inlet Wind Power Project. It is co-owned by Boralex, Enercon, and the Six Nations of the Grand River Development Corporation. [1] [2] [3]
