KINCARDINE, ONT. – Wind power developers Samsung Renewable Energy Inc. and Pattern Energy Group LP celebrated the grand opening of their 180 MW Armow Wind power facility in Kincardine, Ont. in June.
The project, now operational, is expected to generate enough energy to power approximately 70,000 Ontario homes each year.
The build, which took place on a 46,000-acre site, took 14 months and employed an average of 200 workers on-site throughout project construction and approximately 350 workers during peak construction periods.
Towers for the 91 Siemens 2.3 MW wind turbines were made in Windsor. The 273 blades were manufactured in Tillsonburg by more than 750 Ontario workers, indicates the Armow Wind project website.
The Armow Wind power facility operates under a 20-year power purchase agreement with Ontario’s Independent Electricity System Operator.
