Erie Shores Wind Farm

Wind Farm environment

Wind farm monthly output

Erie Shores Wind Farm is a large wind farm near Port Burwell, Ontario, Canada. The facility stretches approximately 8 kilometres (5.0 mi) to the west of the town, and 16 kilometres (9.9 mi) to the southeast.

In 2004, the Erie Shores Wind Farm was awarded a generation contract by the Government of Ontario as part of its renewable energy plan. This wind farm was officially opened on April 13, 2006 to the delight of progressive leaders and to the dismay of local residents and bird conservationists.

The project comprises 66 GE 1.5 MW Wind Turbines. Each turbine has a blade diameter of 77 metres (253 ft), and is mounted on an 80 metre (260 ft) tubular tower.
