The Kent Hills Wind Farm seen from Moncton

Kent Hills Wind Farm is a large wind farm project in Elgin, New Brunswick. The wind farm was completed in three phases between 2008 and 2018.[1] The farm was the first in New Brunswick. It is owned and operated by TransAlta and the power is purchased by NB Power for supply to consumers.[2]

As of 2018, the farm consisted of fifty 3 megawatt (MW) wind turbines and 5 3.45 MW turbines for a total capacity of 167 MW. The project produces 580,000 megawatt hours per year.[3] The turbines used are Vestas V90-3MW model, which have a rotor diameter of 90 metres (295 ft) and sit atop an 80-metre (262 ft) tower.[1]

It is the largest wind farm in Atlantic Canada.
