In 2008, the Canadian Wind Energy Association (CanWEA), a non-profit trade association, outlined a future strategy for wind energy that would reach a capacity of 55,000 MW by 2025, fulfilling 20% of the country's energy needs. The plan, Wind Vision 2025, could create over 50,000 jobs and represent around CDN$165 million annual revenue. If ...
The Blackspring Ridge Wind Project is a wind farm located in Vulcan County, Alberta. The wind farms generates 300 MW of electricity and was the largest wind farm in Western Canada by installed capacity, until the completion of the Whitla, Alberta wind farm was expanded to 353MW in December 2021. [2] It is co-owned by EDF Renewables and Enbridge ...
Wind power is considered a sustainable, renewable energy source, and has a much smaller impact on the environment compared to burning fossil fuels. Wind power is variable, so it needs energy storage or other dispatchable generation energy sources to attain a reliable supply of electricity. Land-based (onshore) wind farms have a greater visual ...

In addition, there is currently no competitive market for wind energy (though there may be in the future), because wind is a freely available natural resource, most of which is untapped. [116] The main cost of small wind turbines is the purchase and installation process, which averages between $48,000 and $65,000 per installation.
