Construction is set to begin on the 75MW
Amherst Island wind project, after an
Ontario tribunal denied an appeal
against its approval.
The provincial environmental review
tribunal upheld a renewable energy
approval that was granted a year ago.
Amherst Island is located in Lake Ontario,
15km southwest of Kingston.
Canadian developer Algonquin Power
now plans to start work on the project,
which includes 26 Siemens 3.2MW-113
turbines, a 34.5kV/115kV substation anda
4.5km underwater cable to the mainland
and the Hydro One distribution system.
Final development and construction is
expected to take 12 to 18 months.
The wind farm, which is costing around
$211 million, is scheduled to begin
commercial operation in 2018 and to
produce 235GWh per year.
