The ExPlace Wind Turbine is a 91-metre (299 ft) tall wind turbine located on the grounds of the Exhibition Place co-owned by the WindShare for-profit co-operative and Rankin Integrated Energy (part of Rankin Construction), a construction company specializing in renewable projects.
The next year in 1999, the TREC received a grant to study three potential sites for an urban wind turbine project in Toronto.
Toronto Hydro took until August 2017 to fund a specialist firm to begin the required repairs as well as other upgrades to the turbine with work originally expected to be completed by November of the same year.

Construction of the turbine cost approximately CAD$1.8 million (including foundation, interconnect, and erection).
The wind turbine adds an average of 1000 MWh of electricity to the city's main power grid per year.
