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 ...
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 ...
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 ...

In 2006, wind power provided less than 8% of Alberta's total power generation. AESO had said wind power was not reliable enough because wind doesn't blow consistently. When it drops off, coal and natural gas plants have to take up the slack to avoid power shortages." At that time, Alberta didn't have "enough transmission lines to connect new ...
All the most powerful turbines are offshore wind turbines. This list also includes the most powerful onshore wind turbines, although they are relatively small compared to the largest offshore ones. As of June 2024, the most powerful wind turbine in operation is the world's first 18MW semi-direct drive offshore wind turbine, developed by ...
It was central Alberta's first wind project, first wind project approved by the Alberta Utilities Commission (AUC) and, at the time of construction, the province's largest wind project, located in the County of Paintearth, 40 kilometres (25 mi) east of Stettler. [2] The project was sold to its joint venture partner Capital Power corporation. [3]
