Calgary based TransAlta Corporation has announced plans for a $200+ million wind farm in the Gaspe region of Quebec. This will be the corporations second development in Quebec and they have already secured a 20-year power purchase contract with the Hydro-Quebec.
TransAlta is confidant that their dedication and innovation in the wind power industry will secure their place as one of the top wind power corporations in the country. This new development will output 66 megawatts, enough to power over 10,000 homes while their current project in the same region generates 99 megawatts powering over 15,000 homes.
This is a positive step forward for wind energy in Canada, as traditional energy sources are becoming more expensive and scarce and we look towards lowering emissions and pollutants in all areas and industries. I am proud to say that I fully support alternative green energy in Canada and around the globe, and it's pretty cool that Canada is becoming a leader in the green energy industries.
