Wind Developments : Ontario SOP Projects

In 2008, IPC brought four 9.9MW wind power projects into commercial operation in Ontario along the north shore of Lake Erie. The Frogmore, Cultus, Clear Creek and Mohawk Point Wind Farms were among the first projects built under Ontario’s Renewable Energy Standard Offer program.

In 2009 IPC began construction of an additional four 9.9MW wind projects in Essex County, Ontario, close to the community of Harrow. The Harrow wind projects are expected to be delivering power in June 2010.

Project Highlights:
- Each project is comprised of six Vestas V82 1.65MW wind turbines, for a total installed capacity of 9.9MW per project

- Each project supplies enough electricity to service approximately 3,000 average households for one year

Wind Developments: Erie Shores Wind Farm Phase I

IPC began construction on the Erie Shores Wind Farm in early 2002. Ground was broken in the summer of 2005 for the first turbines along the Lake Erie shoreline in Southern Ontario. Erie Shores was the largest wind farm in Canada when it was commissioned in 2006.

Project Highlights:
- The project is comprised of sixty-six GE SLE 1.5MW wind turbines for a total installed capacity of 99MW

- A 30km 115kV transmission line was constructed to connect the project to the Ontario grid

- The project stretches across over 9,000 acres along 25km of Lake Erie shoreline in Norfolk and Elgin Counties
