With 2,663 turbines, or about 40 per cent of the country’s total, Ontario has the most overall. About 30 per cent more of Canada’s turbines are in Quebec, with 1,991, and Alberta comes in third, with 900 turbines.
The Canadian Wind Turbine Database contains the geographic location and key technology details for wind turbines installed in Canada.
The Wind Power in Ontario Map helps to better demonstrate how wind power is contributing to the province’s electricity needs. It shows the forecast hourly wind output at a province-wide level and for certain regions over the next 48 hours.
The rural community in Dufferin County is home to about 3,200 people and 167 wind turbines. It's also the site of the first large-scale wind farm to be built in Ontario, operating since...
Wind Power in Ontario. The Wind Power in Ontario illustration demonstrates how wind power is contributing to the province’s electricity needs. It shows the forecast hourly wind output at a regional and province-wide level over the next 48 hours.
Featured image: The Wolfe Island wind facility near Kingston, Ont. has a capacity of 197.8 megawatts and includes 86 wind turbines. The power produced from Wolfe Island is sold under a 20-year Renewable Energy Supply II Contract with the Ontario Power Authority.
The correction that’s needed is for Ontario to pay less for the power that wind farms generate — a lot less. Instead of the current $151, Sepulveda calculates that each megawatt-hour of wind power is actually worth $46.
Early development of wind energy in Canada was located primarily in Ontario, Quebec, and Alberta. Alberta built the first commercial wind farm in Canada in 1993. Throughout the late 1990s and early years of the 21st Century every Canadian province has pursued wind power to supplement their provincial energy grids.
Ontario’s Independent Electricity System Operator or IESO has announced that it plans another round of procurement for new power generation, which will include “non-emitting” generation such as wind, solar, hydro and bioenergy.
Melancthon is Ontario’s first utility-scale wind facility and it is one of the largest wind projects in Canada, with 133 wind turbines producing 200 megawatts of power. The facility is located near Shelburne, Ontario.
