Manitoba Hydro short-lists wind power proposals

WINNIPEG

Manitoba Hydro has completed its review of 10 short-listed companies responding to a request for proposals for the purchase of up to 300 MW of wind generated electricity, which could involve capital investment in excess of $600 million.

The next step will be holding meetings to discuss further the feasibility of favoured projects.

Initial discussions will concentrate on proposals submitted by St. Joseph Wind Farms Inc.

Manitoba Hydro has a Power Purchase agreement with the St. Leon Wind Energy LP to purchase wind power for up to 25 years from Manitoba’s first wind farm, near St. Leon, Manitoba.

A total of 63 wind turbines have been erected over a 93-square kilometre area.
