Port Burwell Wind Farm

In 2004, Port Burwell was awarded a generation contract by the Government of Ontario as part of its renewable energy plan.

This wind farm was officially opened on April 13, 2006.

The project comprises 66 GE 1.5 MW Wind Turbines (model 1.5 SLE).

An important measure of renewable energy generation is the capacity factor (actual output per year divided by the nameplate output).

Published reports show that the developers were expecting the capacity factor to be higher – 28.6% to 32%.
