Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Capital Power Corporation (Edmonton, Alberta) has entered a virtual power purchase agreement to provide output from a windfarm under construction in Canada, which is one of the more than $1 billion worth of wind-generation projects underway across the country. Most of the projects are in Alberta.
Under the agreement, Capital Power will provide Canadian dairy company Saputo (Saint-Leonard, Montreal) with undisclosed output from the Halkirk 2 Windfarm in Alberta for 15 years. The windfarm, which is expected to be operational by the beginning of 2025, will utilize more than 30 wind turbines from Vestas Wind Systems A/S (Aarhus, Denmark) to provide roughly 140 megawatts (MW) of wind power.

Projects like Halkirk 2 will add to the country's capacity of wind-energy generation, which, according to the most recent data from Statistics Canada, the federal government's statistics arm, accounted for just roughly 7% of the country's total generation mix in January.
Other projects underway include Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners' (Copenhagen, Denmark) Buffalo Plains Windfarm in Alberta, which is set to become the largest windfarm in Canada. The US$925.2 million project entails installing 83 Siemens Gamesa (Zamudio, Spain) wind turbines for a nameplate generation capacity of about 515 MW. Borea Construction (Quebec) is providing engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) services, and the windfarm is expected to be fully operational by December 2024. The project features a power purchase agreement (PPA) to supply Amazon.com Incorporated (NASDAQ:AMZN) (Seattle, Washington) with 415 MW of output.

Also underway is the first phase of Acciona Energy's (Alcobendas, Spain) Forty Mile wind project near Bow Island, Alberta. The first phase entails erecting 49 turbines to achieve nameplate generation of about 280 MW. Construction is expected to wrap up in 2025. Most of the offtake is designated to oil sands developer Cenovus Energy Incorporated (NYSE:CVE) (Calgary, Alberta) via a virtual PPA.
RES Canada (Montreal, Quebec), a division of RES Group (Kings Langley, England), is providing development and engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) services. Subscribers can learn more by viewing the project report.
Meanwhile, developer Enerfin Energy Company of Canada Incorporated (Montreal, Quebec) expects construction of its 136.4-MW Winnifred Windfarm in Foremost, Alberta will wrap up in September. Enerfin also is at work constructing the nearby Holsim 1054S Substation, as well as a new transmission line that will connect Holsim to the Bullhead 523S Substation in order to send the generation from Winnifred to the Alberta Interconnected Electric System (AIES) grid. The projects are expected to be completed along the same timeline. Subscribers can read detailed project reports on the windfarm, substation and transmission line.
