Ontario Opens Canada’s Largest Wind Farm

Canada’s biggest wind farm is situated near Shelburne, Ontario and has a capacity of 199.5 MW. The developer of the project, Canadian Hydro, is expecting the 133-turbine farm to have a yearly output of 545 GWh, which is enough to power 70,000 homes. All of that electricity will be sold to the Ontario Power Authority. This is just one step in Canada’s plan to shut down all coal power plants by 2014 and will be relying on wind and solar power to step in as renewable energy sources.
