Capital Power provides additional details on Whitla Wind Facility second phase
MEDICINE HAT, AB — Capital Power has provided additional information about their plans to expand the Whitla Wind Facility in the next two years.
The company announced Thursday they will be going ahead with the second phase of the facility that was previously approved when the project was announced two years ago.
“We started with the first phase, because that is was the contract we had under the REP (Renewable Electricity Program),” said Jerry Bellikka, director of government relations with Capital Power. “But when the provincial government, this summer, declared we were going to stay with the energy-only market, that gave us the confidence to build the second phase of Whitla.”
