Canadian Hydro Developers Completes $450 Million Windfarm in Ontario

---

Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Canadian Renewable Energy Corporation (Mississauga, Ontario), a wholly owned subsidiary of Canadian Hydro Developers Incorporated (Calgary, Alberta), has completed construction and commissioning for the $450 million 198-megawatt (MW) Wolfe Island Windfarm in Ontario.

The project began construction in summer 2008 and was completed this spring. Canadian Hydro began full commercial operation of the new facility this month. The project consisted of constructing 86 2.3-MW Siemens (NYSE:SI) (Munich, Germany) 2.3-93 SWT model wind turbine generators off the shore of Kingston in the Township of Frontenac near Wolfe Island.

Wolfe Island will be connected to the grid by way of a 34.5/230 kilovolt (kV) underground and overhead collector system located on-site. Six miles of both overhead power line and submarine cable were utilized to interconnect the facility to the existing Hydro One 230-kV Gardiner substation, which feeds renewable energy into the Ontario electricity market.

Canadian Projects Limited (Calgary, Alberta) provided engineering, procurement and construction services for the project. K.R. Wind Incorporated (Dallas, Texas) acted as the general contractor and performed the turbine installation for the facility.
