History

Suncor Energy Adelaide Wind Power Project

Suncor is committed to increasing renewable energy generation in Canada and building best-in-class wind energy projects.

The proposed Suncor Energy Adelaide wind power project is a 40 megawatt (MW) project located north of Strathroy, Ontario. Suncor has been developing this project since signing the first agreement with a local landowner in 2008.

Suncor is seeking a Renewable Energy Approval (REA) under the Ontario Green Energy Act from the Ministry of the Environment (MOE). Documents, reports and other regulatory information will be posted to this site as they become available.

Feed in Tariff (FIT) Program

In July 2011, the Project was awarded a 40 MW, 20-year term Feed in Tariff (FIT) power purchase contract by the Ontario Power Authority.

The Project will consist of up to 18 wind turbines. In addition to the wind turbines, the Project will also include meteorological towers, an electrical collection system, a substation, turbine access roads, and temporary construction facilities.
