Wind power projects in southern Alberta get green light from province to develop
MEDICINE HAT, AB — Three companies have been selected to build wind power facilities in the province, including two in southeastern Alberta, following the first bidding round for Alberta’s Renewable Electricty Program.
The provincial government made the announcement on Wednesday afternoon, noting the three projects will add approximately 600 megawatts of renewable power, or enough to power up to 255,000 homes.
The projects represent 200 more megawatts than originally planned.
